Some 20 ethnic Albanian women protested on Tuesday in front of the UNMIK HQ in southern Kosovska Mitrovica. They were demanding that UNMIK regional representative Gerard Galluci leave the town following his negative appraisal and stand on the clashes between the Serbs and the international police and Kfor in northern Kosovska Mitrovica. Albanian women want Galluci to quit Some of the protesting women told Tanjug that they were criticizing Galluci because he was advocating that the inhabitants of Mitrovica be divided into Serbs and ethnic Albanians. The women said they would protest every morning until Galluci left Kosovska Mitrovica. Galluci resigned after the March 17 clashes in Kosovska Mitrovica, when the international community entered the courthouse in northern Mitrovica and arrested about 50 Serb judicial workers who had previously seized the courthouse demanding to return to work there, having been dismissed from their jobs in 1999. Galluci' s resignation was turned down, and his report to the UN Security Council described the operation in the courthouse as badly planned. “The operation to restore law and order in the north led to the disappearance of law and order. Had the police chosen any other day to ask the people to leave the building without making arrests, we might have been able to score a victory without any cost,” reads the regional representative’s report, which criticizes the fact that the operation was carried out on March 17, on the anniversary of the 2003 pogroms against the Kosovo Serbs. One Ukrainian police officer was killed during the clashes between police and Serbs, while over 100 civilians and members of the international forces were injured. Yesterday's protest (Beta)
