YUGOSLAVIA: KOSOVO: PRIZREN: ETHNIC ALBANIANS CELEBRATE

(15 Jun 1999) Natural Sound Serb citizens poured out of Prizren, Kosovo's second largest city on Monday, taunted by ethnic Albanians who erupted into wild celebrations. Prizren lies in South Western part of Kosovo and comes under jurisdiction of German NATO forces according to Peace Agreement. One Serb soldier was killed and one was seriously injured when German soldiers opened fire in an attempted grenade assault on the NATO officers and foreign press staying at the main hotel in Prizren. German soldiers disarmed several members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, the ethnic Albanian guerrilla group, as they tried to seize the wounded Serb soldier at the main Prizren hospital. The International Red Cross said more than 11-thousand Serbs, who once made up around a 10th (tenth) of Kosovo's 2 (m) million population, had left since a peace deal was signed last week. On the streets of Prizren, celebrations were in progress on Monday, as the city spent another night with a strong K-L-A presence in the town. The K-L-A is supposed to demilitarise under the Kosovo peace agreement. Near Prizren, the K-L-A took control of a Yugoslav border post on the frontier with Albania and was turning back refugees, telling them to wait until it was safe to go home. U-N Aid agencies fear that a million or so refugees may expose themselves to dangers including mines and booby traps by rushing home too soon. But several hundred defied warnings to leave Macedonia on Monday, and a survey has found most others are unlikely to wait more than a week.
