KVM condemns abduction of Serbian civilians
PRISTINA 23 January 1999
PRISTINA, 23 January 1999 - The OSCE Kosovo Verification Mission strongly condemns the abduction on Friday, January 22 of five civilians from the village of Nevolijane near Vucitrn.
Taking hostages is a terrorist action in violation of basic human rights and is totally at variance with behavior the international community demands of all parties to the Kosovo conflict. We call on the KLA to release the five hostages immediately.
Such terrorist actions are detrimental to the KVM's efforts to create peaceful conditions in Kosovo as the necessary background for reaching a lasting, political solution to the conflict.
