Pristina, Sept 29 ("Politika" daily) - At the offices of the Technical school in Urosevac, Albanians have kidnapped Paun Zivkovic, former principal of the school and Marko Stojanovic, principal of the primary school in this city on Tuesday.

Zivkovic and Stojanovic were escorted by KFor on Tuesday noon from Strpce to Urosevac where they planned, as agreed with UN civil mission in Kosovo, to take over the documentation regarding the students who were attending the classes in Serbian until the KFor's arrival so the ones who fled to Strpce could continue with their education. KFor soldiers left them at the office of the present Albanian principal of the school. When they got back 15 minutes after, they were gone.

Albanian principal and the secretary of the school explained to the KFor soldiers that they were arrested by the policemen of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).

Upset by disappearance of Zivkovic and Stojanovic several thousands of Serbs , citizens of Strpce and the entire Sirnic county, have surrounded some 80 KFor soldiers in this district. They've blocked all the roads leading to Sara Mt. KFor soldiers tried to brake through the blockade on Wednesday and leave for Urosevac but the people wouldn't let them pass through till Zivkovic, Stojanovic and six earlier abducted Serbs are set free.

Citizens of Strpac sent a massage through an amateur radio-operator on Wednesday to the local and foreign journalists inviting them to this village in order to verify the truth situation and not to, as so far, write speculating in different manners, mostly supporting KFor and Albanians.
