Text of report by Serbian independent news agency FoNet

Belgrade, 5 January: The Coordination Centre for Kosovo-Metohija said today that Kfor (NATO-led Kosovo Force) had started a systematic search of Serb houses in Kosovo, which was done by units of various international forces' contingents in a coordinated and synchronized manner.

"The Coordination Centre states that Albanian areas are not being searched, not even those places where cases of fire being opened or direct assaults on international community representatives have been registered," the statement warns.

Unilateral actions or pressure, such as searching Serb houses or cutting power in Serb areas, are directly counterproductive in terms of the overall security in the province and contrary to international community's proclaimed aims, the statement from the Coordination Centre said.
