lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to comment on two points of the joint draft resolution which, incidentally, receives my unqualified support. The request to President Kostunica to release all political prisoners from the Milosevic era, requires, as before, unrelenting diplomatic effort on the part of the European Council and Commission in Belgrade, especially since most Serb political prisoners, if not those of Albanian origin from Kosovo, have, as far as I know, now been released. An extremely harrowing detail in this respect is that many of these were taken hostage at the time the Yugoslav people’s army withdrew from Kosovo last year. I also agree with the request for help from KFOR to thwart further violence in the Presevo valley. This, evidently, is a case of imported Albanian aggression, as this part of Serbia had not experienced any acute ethnic tension in former days. Finally, I noticed that the draft resolution does not cover the complex issue of the Kosovar Roma gypsies, unlike the draft resolution which was brought forward by the Liberal Group. The unscrupulous Milosevic regime has heavily compromised this entire population group in the eyes of the Albanian Kosovars. However, this fact does not in any way justify the dreadful reprisals on the Albanian side, such as the violent killing of four Ashani-Roma in mid-November when they returned to their burnt down homes, nor the burning alive of a fifteen-year-old Roma boy in Orahovac. Such serious crimes cast a cloud over Kosovo’s political future."@en1
