Beta - August 27, 2003

DOBROTIN -- Wednesday -- Three unknown men attempted to kidnap ten-year old Marina Damjanovic from the village of Dobrotin near Lipljan in Kosovo yesterday around 8 p.m.

According to the girl's testimony and claims of eyewitnesses, three Albanians in a white Mercedes with foreign registration plates stopped briefly beside the girl and attempted to drag her inside the car.

The girl managed to free herself and flee into the neighbourhood shouting for help, while the car sped away. 

The blockade set up by citizens of Dobrotin on the local Lipljan-Janjevo road in protest yesterday has been terminated today.

UNMIK police and KFOR have set up checkpoints at the village's entrance and exit.
