§ Mr. VazSince KFOR's deployment in Kosovo on 12 June 1999 and mid-November, there have been 137 abductions reported, including 43 Serbs and 77 Albanians. No figures are available for other minorities abducted nor for the number rescued.
UNMIK estimate that 97,000 Serbs remain in Kosovo from a pre-war population of around 200,000. It is estimated that between 6,000 and 7,000 Roma or "Gypsies" remain in Kosovo. Pre-war population figures for Roma are not exact. The 1991 census figure for Roma in Kosovo was 45,000.
In the same period from 12 June to mid-November, 379 murders have been reported in Kosovo. Of these 139 were Serbs, 145 Albanians and 99 of unknown ethnic origin. There are no details for the number of people charged with these offences.
