Railroad near Vucitrn explodes
Kosovska Mitrovica, Dec 9, 2006 – The Coordinating Centre for Kosovo-Metohija stated that yesterday at 5.30 pm unidentified persons blew up rail tracks on the railroad near the village of Mijalic, Vucitrn municipality, Kosovo-Metohija, just a few minutes before a train with Serbs from Poluzje and Plemetina were to pass that way.
The rail line from Zvecan to Kosovo Polje mostly transports Serbs from Kosovo-Metohija, according to the statement.
The passengers who went to Priluzje and Plementina got off the train after the explosion and continued to travel by bus.
Request to Ahtisaari to condemn mining of Zvecan-Kosovo Polje railroad
Belgrade, Dec 9, 2006 – Director of the Serbian government’s Office of Media Relations Srdjan Djuric asked today from UN Special Envoy Marti Ahtisaari to finally condemn Albanian separatists and their latest terrorist attack of blowing up the Zvecan-Kosovo Polje railroad.
Djuric told Tanjug that Ahtisaari’s persistent silence and avoiding to condemn Albanian terrorist attacks is incomprehensible.
Ahtisaari got his mandate from the UN to most severely condemn and sanction any violence, Djuric recalled noting that Ahtisaari’s mandate is nearing its end and that a new mediator will be appointed probably in mid-2007.
He stressed that the UN special envoy failed to even once condemn Albanian terrorism and that it is high time for him to do it now.
