International Herald Tribune Reuters, The Associated Press June 6, 2006 Serb leaders in Kosovo rebel ZVECAN - Serbia Serbian leaders in north Kosovo said Monday that they had cut off all contact with the province's ethnic Albanian authorities, a new sign of resistance as the Albanian majority pushes for independence from Serbia this year. At a protest in the town of Zvecan, leaders of the 50,000 Serbs in north Kosovo declared a "state of emergency" in response to a spate of shootings that they attribute to Albanian separatists. They demanded the return of the Serbian police, who were forced to leave the province in 1999 with the Yugoslav Army under an agreement to end 78 days of NATO bombing. UN Security Council Resolution 1244 provides for the return of up to 1,000 Serbian police. .... The United Nations has contingency plans for an exodus of Serbs in the event the 90-percent ethnic Albanian majority gets its own state, while NATO said last week that it planned to bolster patrols in the north by reopening a military base. In another development Monday, the Serbian Parliament proclaimed the Balkan republic a sovereign state, following Montenegro's decision to declare independence from their union and dissolve what was left of Yugoslavia. The 126 lawmakers who voted unanimously acknowledged that their state was the heir to the union of Serbia and Montenegro - the last shred of what was once a six-member Yugoslav federation. Parliament has 250 deputies, but the opposition boycotted the vote, walking out just beforehand. ------------------------ Yahoo!
