Kosovo Ombudsman Hilmi Jashari wants UNMIK to take “emergency measures” to get the courts in Kosovska Mitrovica up and running again. In a letter to UNMIK Chief Joachim Ruecker, Jashari says that the “situation created in the north represents a serious breach of human rights, because there is no access to the courts to deal with outstanding cases for a large number of Kosovska Mitrovica’s citizens and people from 49 neighboring villages.” Official wants "emergency measures" in K. Mitrovica Former Serb justice employees are protesting daily in front of the gates of the District and Municipal Courts in northern Kosovska Mitrovica, demanding negotiations over their reinstatement, having been dismissed in 1999 with the arrival of UNMIK and KFOR. The protests began on February 21 following Kosovo’s unilateral declaration independence. On March 14, the protesters entered and occupied the courthouse, before being forcibly evicted three days later, following an intervention by UNMIK police and KFOR troops. UNMIK police arrested 53 people during the unrest on March 17. Some 200 Serbs worked in the Kosovo Mitrovica courts until 1999 when the UN administration took over in the province.
