VIOLENCE ESCALATION IN KOSOVO AND METOHIA
Belgrade, 17 March 2004 – HRH Crown Prince
Alexander II has issued a statement regarding the escalation of
violence on the citizens of Kosovo and Metohia:
“It was with outrage and anxiety that I received
the news of the escalation of inter-ethnic violence in Kosovo and
Metohia. I most strongly condemn any form of violence, particularly
those inspired by ethnic and religious intolerance.
I appeal to the representatives of the
international community to do everything in their power to stop this
wave of violence as soon as possible, and bring back peace to the
citizens of Kosovo and Metohia, providing them conditions for life
in safety. Ethnic clashes and violence can only make the difficult
situation in Kosovo and Metohia even worse. It is the duty of all
citizens to try to find the solutions in a peaceful way.
My deepest condolences go to the families of the
dead and injured, and my hope is that these are the last victims in
Kosovo and Metohia” – emphasized the Crown Prince in his statement.
