HL Deb 15 March 2000 vol 610 c208WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have evidence that Serbian State security forces have been fomenting disorder and intransigence in Kosovska Mitrovica; and, if so, what is their response and that of UNMIK and KFOR. [HL1327]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

Extremist elements on both sides have been involved in the recent disturbances in Mitrovica. Part of the strategy agreed by UNMIK and KFOR has been to tighten control on the boundary between Kosovo and the rest of Serbia to prevent Serb extremists entering northern Kosovo.
