		Beside individual efforts, which KFOR soldiers are undertaking to secure the Serb and other non-Albanian population, the terrorist actions against civilians (Serbs, Romas, Bosnians, Goranci, Croats and others) are continued, Orthodox churches are still being destroyed and our graveyards desecrated.

		The Goranci though are far from happy with the way the frontier talks have been conducted, as they have not been represented in negotiations - the official reason being that Kosovo remains a constituent part of Yugoslavia.
		The interests of the Goranci, like so many other Balkan minorities, seem destined to be overlooked.
		"Many people try to claim us as their own, but we are Goranci, and our country is Gora-Kosova," said Harun Asllani, Deputy President of the Municipal Board of Dragas.

		Unfortunately people (Serbs, Albanians, Gipsies, Goranci, Montenegro Serbs...) they all suffer while someone ellse wants to make sure that they do not succeed.
		I'm afraid that the lack of WILL and lack of REASON on both sides, Kosovo Albanians and Serbs from Kosovo and rest of Serbia, is present in "atempts" to find the solution to this (which is not something new, it has been happening for decades).

		Kouchner said that the Serb’s decision to boycott was neither his nor the mission’s error, but the consequence of pressure exerted by Milosevic’s regime, adding that the people had voted, "not just Albanians, but also Romanies, Turks, Goranci and Askalies".
		Head of the UN Mission in Kosovo Bernard Kouchner said that yesterday’s elections had been carried out with dignity and without any violence or provocation, emphasizing that the only deficiency was the fact that Serbs had not participated in the voting.
		Kouchner also said that he was convinced that Serbs would eventually be registered since according to UN resolution 1244, they had the right to participate in elections and choose their representatives in democratic bodies in Kosovo.

		According to the 1981 census, Turks, Roma, Goranci, Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Croats formed 10% of the population of Kosovo (3).
		So far the international protectorate has failed to protect the linguistic, cultural and educational rights of these communities (5).

		Thousands of Goranci have fled Kosovo since the end of the war there, because the Albanians accuse them of "collaboration" with the Serbs and there have been attacks and acts of vengeance.
		About 39,000 people live in the Dragas district, while some 13,000 Goranci - Muslims who speak a Macedonian-Serbian dialect - are settled further to the south, in the higher part of the valley.
		But things are better now, says Shyqeriu, and the two groups are working together in administering the economically backward area, which is governed by Rugova's Democratic League of Kosovo.

		KFOR and UNMIK, Special Representative Kouchner in particular, are solely responsible for the exodus, ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid against Serbs, Montengrins, Roma, Goranci, Muslims, Turks and other non-Albanians, as well as for a disastrous situation in all segments of economic and social life in the Province.
		- The basic human rights of Serbs, Muslims, Roma, Goranci, Turks, Egyptians and other non- Albanian population have been violated on a massive scale (operative para 11j).
		Verbal support for the multi-ethnic, multi-confessional and multi-cultural Kosovo and Metohija is a mere exercise in hypocrisy by KFOR and UNMIK, taking into account that due to their non-implementation and gross violation of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999), the former composition of the population has been forcibly altered.

		The security threat is not only directed against Kosovo Serbs, but also against other non-Albanian minorities in Kosovo, particularly Roma, Slav Muslims, Goranci, and even ethnic Turks.
		This report, entitled "Prisoners in Our Own Homes," was published by Amnesty International on April 29, 2003, and the situation on the ground since then has not only remained unimproved, but it has essentially deteriorated.

		Therefore, one of the projects that the team is developing is the establishment of a youth centre in the remote community of Dragasha town comprised of two ethnic communities: Albanians and Slavic Muslims known as Goranci.
		One method through which community confidence can begin to be established is through small-scale cross-community interactionespecially among young people.
		By founding a centre where youth from both communities can have access to locally identified needed services, such as computer training and English language lessons, BPT hopes that the young people can begin, at their own pace, to interact and that relationships of trust can begin to be developed.

		But, according tot he same daily, the Association of Goranci, stated that 40,000 Goranci were erroneously included in that figure.
		Dismissals were justified by "absenteeism and surplus of work-force." Those dismissals were not a mere coincidence, as Goranci, often erroneously taken for ethnic Albanians, were also victims of aggressive actions of denizens of Belgrade and labour discrimination.
		Albanians were also dismissed from construction firms, Ratko Mitrovic, Rad and Hidrotehnika, then from the Belgrade Port, Rakovica Engines Industry and Metropolitan Parks Services.
