Lipljan, 20 September: Members of Kfor (NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo) this morning at around 0600 (0400 gmt) removed a barbed wire which had been erected at the demarcation line between the Serb and Albanian parts of Lipljan, SRNA correspondent has reported.
The wire fence was put up on 17 March and, along with the stepped-up Kfor checks, it served as an additional security for the remaining Serbs in Ljipljan.
After the barbed wire was removed, the parents of 93 pupils of the Braca Aksic school prevented their children from attending school.
The chairman of the Serb National Community in Lipljan, Slavko Janicijevic, said that the community had appealed once again to UNMIK (UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo) and the Kfor command to re-erect the fence, or else the Serb pupils would not be able to attend school.
