Fires ravage Kosovo forests

“Locals fear it may lasts two more days and devastate more than 600ha of forest,” the statement read.

“In only four days Albanian extremists set fire on Poljana and Bogače forests owned by local Serbs, ravaging more than 100 hectares. The same happened yesterday in Tučep where the fire has not been put out yet. According to locals, more than 200 hectares of Serb forests has so far been ruined,” the Coordinating Center speculated.

“When two similar incidents happen in a short period of time, we are obliged to suspect that an organized action aimed at intimidating and banishing Kosovo Serbs is underway,” Istok municipality coordinator Radoš Vulić told the press Saturday.

He said that "fires have been intentionally started for the last eight years", adding that the locals were “persistent, dealing with hardships and remaining in their homes.”

The Coordinating Center remarked that “KFOR and UNMIK representatives failed to respond to numerous appeals to protect Kosovo Serbs.”
