RECENT BOMB ATTACKS RESULT OF RUGOVA, THACI CONFLICT - KOVOSO SERB OFFICIAL
Tanjug - July 27, 2003

Kosovska Mitrovica - Serb coalition Povratak (Return) MP in the Kosovo parliament Rada Trajkovic said Sunday (27 July) that the recent bomb attacks throughout Kosovo-Metohija are a consequence of a conflict between Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova and Kosovo Democratic Party leader Hashim Thaci.

The goal of the frequent attacks is to frighten witnesses and stop them from testifying, and also constitute an open threat to the international community since the targets are institutions such as police stations, Trajkovic told Tanjug. According to Trajkovic, Rugova's men have been collecting evidence on some of the crimes committed in the province.
