SERB REFUGEE FROM KOSOVO SITS BESIDE POLICE CARS NEAR CACAK, 1999-09-09 (photo)

A Serb boy, a refugee from Kosovo, sits on the ground beside police cars after a group of refugees were stopped by police on their way to Belgrade, on the outskirts of Cacak, some 87 miles southwest of the Yugoslav capital September 9. Around 500 Kosovo Serb refugees broke through a police cordon in the central Serbian town of Kraljevo early on Thursday and tried to head for the Yugoslav capital after spending a night in the open, local human rights activists said. The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR has said almost 200,000 Kosovo Serbs have fled the province during and since NATO air strikes on Yugoslavia which forced Belgrade to withdraw its security forces in Kosovo and allow in international forces.
