Pristina - A prominent Kosovo Albanian activist who spent more than a year in a Serbian prison appealed to the people of the province yesterday to show tolerance towards all ethnic groups.

Dr Flora Brovina, a medical doctor, human rights activist and poet released on Wednesday on the orders of new Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica, said she was more concerned about the future than past conflict between Serbs and Albanians.

`This does not mean that I have forgotten and that one should forget, but we should learn from the past never to let it repeat itself," she said. Ms Brovina (50), said that Kosovo should compete to establish democracy, tolerance and understanding.
