	UNMIK's Potemkin Villages, by Fr. Sava Janjic
		What is more, the UNMIK information chief’s words only serve to confirm that his comprehension of reality regrettably rests on highly subjective reports and analyses, not on direct contact with flesh-and-blood representatives of the Serb people whose everyday suffering and problems are well known to Bishop Artemije as well as many well minded internationals.
		The UNMIK mission has not only tarnished the moral reputation of the international community in the Balkans but is now consciously feigning blindness to the destruction of an entire people and its culture for no other reason but to rationalize its own failure.
		However, if UNMIK intends to continue building a new ethnic Albanian state in which Serbs would continue to live as second-class citizens or disappear completely, it is illusory on the part of the international community to expect Serb cooperation and support for such a project.

		The UNMIK Police Trafficking and Prostitution Unit (TPIU) was established in November 2000, with the aim of gathering evidence to assist in gathering evidence to assist in the prosecution of those believed to be responsible for trafficking.
		According to UNMIK Police, because the river was very shallow at this point, they suspected that she may have been forcibly drowned or dumped into the river while still alive and drowned while unconscious.
		UNMIK police and the judiciary need to ensure that the rights of trafficked women are fully respected within the criminal justice system, so that having escaped one set of human rights abuses, trafficked women are not subject to a second set of violations at the hands of the authorities.

		UNMIK police reportedly gave KFOR warning that a hostile crowd was assembling some two hours previously.(37) The crowd approached the village by two roads which met at a junction where the French KFOR base "Belvedere" is situated on a small hill some 500 metres from the entrance to the village.
		UNMIK's interim solution was to transfer them from the KFOR base to the half-finished Vicianum Motel on the outskirts of Vucitrn/Vushtrri which would be under constant KFOR protection.
		Although UNMIK states that the temporary location would be adequately protected from any such future attacks, the organization also believes that such protection would necessitate severe and unacceptable limits on Ashkali freedom of movement and access to employment, education and health care; such conditions, the organization believes, would amount to detention.

	Central Europe Review - KFOR and UNMIK: A Year of Failure
		One of the primary goals of the international community's UNMIK mission was to enforce justice and the rule of law in Kosovo.
		Of the planned 3500 officer local force, UNMIK has trained only a few hundred, and Serbs are broadly unwilling to sign up to become members of the force preferring, in those few areas where there are concentrations of Serbs, to take their security into their own hands rather than trust UNMIK or KFOR.
		UNMIK and KFOR are supposed to work together, but Kouchner does not control the NATO-commanded KFOR, leading to mission incoherence.

		UNMIK has lagged behind and finds itself now in the situation where the mission has to deal with realities which it feels are inimical to its mandate.
		UNMIK's administrators have arrived late in their assigned municipality, with little clear guidance about the job facing them and the circumstances they would be working in.

	[No title]
		On November 5, Serbian Deputy President Nebojsa Covic and UNMIK head Hans Haekkerup signed the "UNMIK—FRY Common Document" in Belgrade in the presence of Serbian President Vojislav Kostunica.
		The document’s affirmation of the recently established joint working group between UNMIK, on one side, and the FRY and Covic’s "Coordinating Council for Kosovo and Metohija," on the other, strengthens Covic’s hand in Kosovar politics and his ability to block Kosova’s progress by creating turmoil in Kosova’s new assembly following the general elections.
		And this is why support for this document by NATO General Secretary Robertson, the European Union, and the U.S. State Department, who view it as a stimulus to increase Kosova Serb participation in the November elections, is so short-sighted.

	29-03-04 WCC-CEC letter to UNMIK
		We have also, throughout this period, regarded the role of UNMIK and the internationally-provided instruments at its disposal as being of crucial importance in securing the immediate security needs of all communities in Kosovo, and in providing a framework for its continuation as a multi-ethnic community.
		Third, we are aware that UNMIK and KFOR personnel have acted responsibly and courageously in attempting to fulfill their duty in the recent crisis, even to the extent of suffering personal injury in some cases.
		At a time when much of the international attention is focusing on serious situations elsewhere in the world, not least the Middle East, it is perhaps understandable that Kosovo and the Balkans as a whole now seem to present less of a threat to peace, and a less urgent call on resources.

		UNMIK considers the main provisional institution to be the Kosova Assembly whose establishment this year was the “last formal step towards the substantive autonomy promised in Security Council Resolution 1244 and the final settlement of Kosovo’s status that should follow.”
		It should be noted that Resolution 1244 also gave “the commitment of the international community to the sovereign and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.” Currently an educational bus is touring the region sponsored by the European Union under the slogan “Serbia and Montenegro with Kosova”.
		Thaci stated that “the PDK fully supports UNMIK and Kosovo institutions in their fight against organised crime but it cannot agree that in the name of this fight is criminalised the war for freedom fought by the KLA that is the greatest value ever for the people of Kosovo”.

		All of the UN member countries, particularly the UN missions, are obliged to respect the UN Security Council Resolution 1244, which, among other things, confirms the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FR Yugoslavia and of other countries in the region, in compliance with the OSCE Helsinki document in respect of the existing borders.
		The Resolution, which is also an obligatory document for the UN missions, does not consist provisions that grant a right to the KFOR and UNMIK official in Kosovo to interpret resolutions in a manner that raise new tensions in the region, endangering the sovereignty and territorial integrity of both countries-the UN members.

		Responding to this provocative question, asked by an ethnic Albanian reporter at a news conference at the UNMIK’s headquarters in the town’s southern, ethnic Albanian section, Lacoste said that UNMIK had established during a thorough investigation that no war crimes had been committed at the hospital.
		She also rejected reports that the hospital might be closed, saying that such a decision would neither be in keeping with the Hippocratic Oath nor with humanitarian law or U.N. principles.
