2004 unrest in Kosovo
Violent unrest in Kosovo broke out on 17 March 2004, when clashes erupted between the Kosovo Albanian majority and the Kosovo Serb minority following a series of ethnically-motivated incidents. It was the largest violent incident in the region since the Kosovo War of 1998-99. According to reports by news sources in Serbia, during the unrest, 19 civilians were killed (11 Kosovo Albanians and 8 Kosovo Serbs), thousands of Serbs were forced to leave their homes, 935 Serb houses, 10 public facilities (schools, health care centers and post offices) and 35 Serbian Orthodox church buildings were desecrated, damaged or destroyed, and six towns and nine villages were ethnically cleansed. Hundreds of Kosovo Albanians, in return, were forced to flee northern Kosovo dominated by Kosovo Serbs.
==Background==
More than 164,000 members of Kosovo's minorities had fled the province in the immediate aftermath of the war. This is especially true in the case of Serbs and Romani.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Human Rights Watch )〕 Ethnic tensions and territorial dispute have been a major problem in Kosovo for many years that sparked the Kosovo War of 1998-99 in which an estimated 10,000 people died, the majority being Albanian civilians, which is also the reason cited by the U.S. State Department for the NATO intervention in Yugoslavia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Ethnic Cleansing in Kosovo )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Killings and Refugee Flow in Kosovo March - June 1999 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Expert Report )〕 After the end of the war, the province was administered by the UN under the auspices of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), with security provided by the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR).
Those Serbs that remained organized themselves into enclaves guarded by peacekeeping forces. Low-level violence continued after the war. The Serb minority claimed to have been subjected to "persistent intimidation and harassment", though the level of violence was reported to have declined somewhat since the end of the war. In 2003, six Serbs were shot at in an enclave. There were repeated attacks on Serbian Orthodox churches, shrines and other cultural monuments, with over a hundred being destroyed or damaged. Clashes had also broken out between Serbs and Albanians in the ethnically Serb-dominated north of Kosovo, with Albanians harassing Serbs and chasing them out of their homes.
