Minimal return of refugees after March violence, says Annan
Tanjug - August 4, 2004

NEW YORK , Aug 4 (Tanjug) - The constant lack of freedom of movement for members of minority groups in Kosovo, endangered security, and no access to public services, have resulted in the minimal return of persons who fled the area following the March violence, said a report by United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Kofi Annan, released late Tuesday.

The report, sent to the UN Security Council for consideration on Thursday, Aug 5, says the March violence had been a severe blow to the peace process in the province, and that elementary rights, such as freedom of movement and security, have been fundamentaly undermined.
