Pristina - "Thugs" have rid the Kosovo capital of Pristina of virtually all its Serbian minority, the UN refugee agency UNHCR said yesterday in its strongest condemnation yet of the reverse ethnic cleansing that has hit the province.
Agency spokesman Mr Ron Redmond said there were now only an estimated 1,000-2,000 Serbs left in Pristina. That compares with an estimated population of about 40,000 before the NATO-Yugoslavia conflict, according to Serbian media, he said, and 27,000 according to a 1991 census.
