HUMAN RIGHTS

Thursday a Leskovac prosecutor charged 144 ethnic Albanians captured near

Djakovica in Kosovo last May with terrorism and acts against the state. A

Pozarevac judge freed 10 men from Orahovac due to a lack of evidence that

they assaulted police. Serbian authorities still hold an estimated 2-5,000

Kosovo Albanians. Rada Trajkovic of the Serbian National Council has

proposed that Kosovo Albanian doctor Flora Brovina, currently in a Serbian

prison, be exchanged for Kosovo Serb doctor Andrija Tomanovic, who

disappeared after NATO forces entered Kosovo.
