The KLA General Headquarters issued a communiqué, stating the following:

"The political and security situation in Kosova has never been more tense and volatile

since the announcement of armistice. The KLA General Headquarters has come to the

conclusion that the Holbrooke-Milosevic agreement is nothing but a continuance of war in

the Balkan region. All the miserable actions that were carried out by the occupier's

forces, the Serb secret police, towards the people of Kosova, including their compatriots,

are the proof for that.

We notified international factors on several occasions, and on time, that the Serbian

Government is not complying with any Security Council resolution, any Contact Group

request, any agreement, and not even the Holbrooke-Milosevic accord for armistice. The

KLA suffered great loss, especially in men, during this period of time, despite the fact

that we complied with the accord and were fully cooperative with the international

community, EU and USA, and although we did not sign any agreement.

The KLA General Headquarters has averted all forms of violence aimed at defenseless

and unarmed civilians, no matter what ethnic community they belong to. The KLA neither

executed, nor induced, the miserable killings of the young Serbs, killed in a cafe-bar in

Pejë. We are convinced that the killings were conducted by the Serb secret police, a

policy that was applied in the past against Albanians and other peoples in Kosova. The

killings in Gllogoc, when a member of the Serb police was also killed, were conducted by

the same executors, as means of hiding evidence of the crime, since the policeman

could have witnessed the Serb crimes in Drenica.

The reason for these killings, especially in the first case, is to worsen the Serb-Albanian

relations, to reinstate chauvinist feelings, to reinstate morale in its units and deceive

global diplomacy.

There are no crimes, not even the killing of more than 30 of our soldiers and commanders

that will make us seek vengeance among civilians, women, children, and elders. We will

retaliate at the Serb police and army. Milosevic's criminal regime is to blame for all the

miserable bloodshed.

Everyone should dissociate from this regime. Even Serb citizens, and especially those

families that lost their loved ones. We are asking the Serb people, the families that lost

their loved ones, not to become victims of a criminal policy and criminals that kill their

prey during night, and mourn when its light.

The KLA General Headquarters wishes to express its deepest condolences to all families

that lost their loved ones, to all families that suffered from the Serb state terrorism. We

guarantee you that we will always be loyal to the victims' wishes and the blood that was

shed for freedom, independence, and democracy. May the memory of them be eternal",

says the 21st communiqué, issued by the KLA General Headquarters.
