KOSOVSKA MITROVICA – Theft and vandalism by Albanians have made it impossible to complete the reconstruction of houses in the Kosovo village of Svinjare, UNMIK advisor Nenad Radosavljevic said today.

“Local Albanians are carrying away doors, windows and sanitary ware in the middle of the night and the contractor has said that it’s impossible to complete the rebuilding of any house, because of the theft during the night,” said Radosavljevic.

He noted that other items such as furniture and bedding given by donors for the reconstruction had also been stolen.

Fifty demountable houses, a gift from Russia for the village, were reported to have been completely destroyed last week.

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA – The regional headquarters of the UN mission in Kosovska Mitrovica have been fortified with a two and a half metre wall of solid concrete.

UNMIK police say the wall was built yesterday, on the recommendation of UN headquarters, five years after the office was established in the town.

UNMIK, which regularly claims that the security situation in the province has improved, says that the fortifications were decided on because of events in Iraq and regular attacks on peacekeepers.
