Signatories "don't know" what they ratified
September 24, 1999

KFOR does not care for the non-Albanain refugees
KFOR does not care for the non-Albanain refugees
Brussels, September 24th (Tanjug) - The Yugoslav government has requested from the UN Security Council to cancel the agreement of the peacekeepers and the "KLA" on the founding of a "Kosovo Protection Corps," as a flagrant breaching of the U.N. peace plan on Kosovo and Metohija, the press in Brussels said Friday.

Belgrade's protest to the world organization warns, it is said, that the so-called agreement is a "mere hoax" legalizing the actions of a terrorist organization.

Analyzing commentaries and statements of the key protagonists around the paper on "transformation" that was recently initialed in Pristina, the media said that their positions were completely contradictory.

According to press analyses, such different attitudes could be variously interpreted; as another naïve show with intention to hide the Albanian separatists' final goals from the public, or another "peacekeeping" forces' attempt to justify another concession of terror.

There is no other explanation for the joint statement of five countries, USA, UK, France, Italy and Germany that tried later on to explain the contents of the signed "paper" and their alleged goals included in the project of the so-called transformation of the KLA.

While "KLA" leaders stress that 10,000 pieces of arms have not been handed over to KFOR, but have been placed in depots from where they can take them at any moment, the commander of the peacekeepers, Michael Jackson, on the other hand, said that the arms are now in possession of KFOR and "will remain there."

There are even greater differences in the statements about the purpose and role of the so-called "Kosovo corps", a formation comprised only of Albanian KLA terrorists wearing its uniforms.

Leader of ethnic Albanian extremists Agim Cheku said that the task of the "Corps" was to "defend the people from every danger" and that despite the change of uniform, it has retained its previous "military structure."

French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine was quoted as saying by the press in Brussels that the new organization "will never be an army" and that its tasks were primarily of civilian nature.

The exodus of non-Albanian populations continues in the presence of the peacekeepers, which has been confirmed by the latest persecution of several hundred of Romanies claiming to be unprotected and without any help for a long time. According to their statements, the Albanian terrorists continue with the attacks, threats and robberies, like there are no peacekeeping forces there at all. Therefor they were forced to leave their residential area near Pristina and seek shelter outside Kosmet.
