Murders offences in the
Yugoslav province have dropped since the summer of 1999, when
UNMIK Police started their activity. Most of the murders happens
in Pristina Region, because that is where the largest
concentration of people live.
Murders rate in Kosovo is around five per week comparing to
dozens in 1999. Much of this has to do with organized crime,
revenge killings or political violence. Interethnic killing
still exists but not at the number from the summer 1999. Many
Serbs, who were majority ethnic group affected by this crime,
fled the province or moved to enclaves, guarded around a clock
by KFOR.
There has been an increase in politically motivated violence.
More than two dozen people from various parties have been killed
this year. There are some parties trying to jockey for power in
the province.
