BBC Monitoring - July 8, 2004

Text of report by German Deutschlandfunk radio on 8 July

The Amnesty International human rights organization has accused the international armed forces and police forces in Kosovo of failure. Five years after Kfor Kosovo Force took over control in the province, members of minorities are still constantly in danger, a spokesman said in Berlin. Thus, there were incidents where units under Franco-German command permitted attacks on the private homes of Serbs. The Amnesty representative opposed the German interior minister's intention to deport Serbs, Roma, and Ashkali from Kosovo, who live in Germany.
