UNHCR Says Serbs Using Trains For Ethnic Cleansing GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said Thursday that Serb forces in Kosovo were using trains to ''ethnically cleanse'' the province of its majority Albanian population. After three trains crammed with a total of some 5,000 people ordered from their homes had arrived in Macedonia Wednesday and overnight, a fourth crossed the border Thursday with a further 2,500, UNHCR spokesman Kris Janowski said. He said passengers on the latest arrival from the Kosovo capital Pristina told UNHCR staff they had been ordered to assemble by Yugoslav soldiers firing shots in the air. A total of 20,000 people had been gathered in this way in the Pristina district of Dragodan. Janowski also told reporters that since NATO began bombing Yugoslav military targets on March 24, a total of 156,000 people had fled Kosovo into neighboring countries. The exodus increased sharply Wednesday, with tens of thousands streaming out of the province -- the most in any one day since the latest turn in the year-long Kosovo crisis. ''The new method of ethnic cleansing is by train,'' he said. UNHCR staff receiving Wednesday's arrivals in Macedonia ''said the scene reminded them at times of the darkest days at the end of World War Two, with refugees streaming in all directions -- men women and children and the elderly clutching a few precious possessions,'' Janowski added. ''Everyone interviewed told similar stories of masked men in uniforms knocking on doors and telling people to leave or be killed,'' he said. The spokesman said that the overwhelming majority of the refugees -- more than 100,000 in all so far -- had crossed into Albania. Some 29,000 had entered Macedonia and 27,000 were now in Montenegro, Serbia's sister republic in the Yugoslav federation. ''Our prospective figures are even higher. We have to reckon with hundreds of thousands of people leaving Kosovo within the next week to 10 days,'' Janowski added. Albanian border guards near the town of Kukes had attempted to slow down the flood Wednesday by starting to register new arrivals one by one at the frontier. ''This resulted in delays of many hours in the freezing, rainy conditions. There were untold numbers of Kosovars still trying to cross the border,'' he said. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Sadako Ogata, has appealed to all countries receiving refugees to keep their borders open, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has transferred some of its own resources in the area to the UNHCR to help cope with the crisis. Janowski said the U.N. body was still operating in the Yugoslav capital Belgrade and had been asked for help by the Serbian Commissioner for Refugees in opening a center for people fleeing there from Kosovo. Among the arrivals, the Serbian official said, were 500 ethnic Albanians. The UNHCR said it would provide what help it could ''once more detailed information was received.'' The agency's office in the city had also agreed to mount a joint convoy with the Yugoslav Red Cross to move aid to Montenegro and within Serbia for the internally displaced. >>>I guess the word "forced deportation" is not strong enough for >>>the media.
