Lee, UN Chief Commissioner's press officer: "Like I said, we are taking these very seriously. We'll probably see the security operations continue over the next several days. This will involve the Kosovo Police Service (KPS) being very much in the forefront because they are the largest law enforcement agency supported by the UNMIK (United Nations Mission in Kosovo) police and of course KFOR (NATO Kosovo Force) will be in support of both the UNMIK police and the KPS." 9.

The UN police, part of a larger international force that has patrolled Kosovo since the end of the war in 1999, did not specify the nature of the threat or provide any details about how the information was received. "We are taking these threats very seriously," said Thomas E. Lee, the UN Chief Commissioner's press officer. "People will be seeing an increase in police activity all over Kosovo for the next several days," he added. Security around the UN headquarters in Pristina was stepped up, with personnel checking vehicles entering the compound. Police also checked civilian cars and documents. A demonstration by opponents of negotiations with Serbia is planned for Tuesday in Kosovo's provincial capital, though the UN statement did not directly link the threat to the scheduled rally. The organiser of the demonstration, a group calling itself Self-Determination, has in the past vandalised UN vehicles and buildings and the group's leader, Albin Kurti, has been apprehended several times. The UN has been mediating talks since February aimed at determining Kosovo's final, post-war status. The province's ethnic Albanians want independence from Serbia, while Belgrade is insisting on keeping at least some control. The two sides fought a war over the province in 1998-1999. Bombing by NATO aircraft ended the Serb crackdown on Kosovo's separatists.
