Prishtina, 02. 03. 1998
Dear Madam/Sir
We are informing you that the situation in Kosova is at the edge of
escalation. The police repression is increasing each moment. Enormous
large Serbian police and military force with heavy armament came from
Serbia in Kosova these days, and they are mostly concentrated in the
region called Drenica, where the entire population, 100% of them, are
Albanians. These Serbian Police and military forces are terrorizing the
albanian innocent population there. Only during the Saturday night,
between the February 28 and March 1, tens of Albanians were killed and
also tens of them were wounded. 4 members of one family were killed. The
terror on the villages of Drenica is still going on, and the whole
region is surrounded from those police and military forces, so there is
no chance to help the innocent Albanian population which is under unseen
terror. There is no chance to give medical aid to those wounded people.
Also the police cut off the phone lines and electric power of the region
of Drenica. Due to this there is very hard, almost impossible, to get
information from that region.
The Coordinating Council of all the political Parties in Prishtina
today has announced that tomorrow, on March 2, from 10 until 11 o'clock,
in all the streets of Prishtina, protests are going to be held on
support of population of Drenica. We in the SIUUP have called the
students of our University to support this initiative and to take part
in these protests.
We appeal to you, to do everything you can, to use all your influence
in order to help us in preventing the escalation of situation and war in
Kosova.
Sincerely Yours,
Bujar Dugolli, president
