Svilanovic files protest with UN for murder of two Serbs in Kosmet
Tanjug - February 23, 2004

19:25 BELGRADE - Serbia and Montenegro Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic has sent a protest note to the United Nations Security Council President following the heinous murder from an ambush of Zlatomir Kostic (36) of Kosovo Polje and Milijana Markovic (24) from the village of Staro Gracko in Kosovo and Metohija.

Expressing his deepest indignation over the fact that 22 Serbs have been killed in Lipljan alone since the deployment of the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and international peace-keeping forces (KFOR) in June 1999 and that not a single murder had been solved so far, Minister Svilanovic underlined that the proclaimed goals of the UN to secure safety, freedom of movement, respect of human and ethnic minority rights for all the inhabitants of the province have seriously been challenged.
