Pristina / KOSOVO ( RNN Correspondent ) March the 17th, 2000
U.S. officials hammered ethnic Albanian leaders in Kosovo for the third day on Tuesday, urging them to vindicate a massive international commitment by choosing peaceful coexistence. "I came here to deliver a strong message to those we have helped that we don't want our help misused by people who won't take the risks that coexistence requires," Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin told reporters.
The greater part of Kosovo's minority Roma and Serb population has fled in the eight months since a NATO bombing campaign forced Belgrade to withdraw its forces and made the Serbian province an international protectorate. Not only Serbs but Roma, Moslem Slavs and other minorities have been viciously persecuted by ethnic Albanians intent on revenge after a decade of Serbian oppression in the 1990s.
