Briefing notes

Kosovo bus network extended

This is a summary of what was said by UNHCR spokesperson – to whom quoted text may be attributed – at today's press briefing at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.

26 October 1999

UNHCR has opened two more bus routes in Kosovo this week: one in the Mitrovica area which opened Monday and the other one in the Pristina suburbs which opens today. The original route connecting minority Serb hamlets in the Gnjilane area which opened ten days ago has proven so popular that we had to extend by another day and despite that the buses run hopelessly overcrowded. The two new routes run through all three of Kosovo's communities - Albanian, Roma and Serb.
