	Central Europe Review - The Lesson of Orahovac
		Everyone in Orahovac, including KFOR and the OSCE, knew at the time that the KLA was operating prisons in the former police station and in the building that formerly housed the Fire Brigade Center.
		Orahovac is an example of how the international administration - UNMIK, the OSCE and KFOR - has supported the KLA's violence most openly, on the principles that "every Serb is a war criminal" and that anyone has the right to accuse, try and sentence a Serb.
		The Serbs in Orahovac live in great fear that their lives may be in danger with every step they take toward the center of a town that once belonged to both Serbs and Albanians.
