A second exodus
In an uncanny flashback to scenes of April 1, when Albanians crossed the border from Kosovo after being forced from their homes at gunpoint by Serbs, Serb families fled to Serbia from their villages in Kosovo yesterday as Nato peacekeeping forces moved in to take control of the area. There was growing evidence of a major exodus from Kosovo of Serb civilians, terrified that they would be the victims of reprisals by ethnic Albanians, with some 13,300 Serbs crossing from Kosovo into the neighbouring Yugoslav republic of Montenegro between Thursday and late Monday, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Late last night, a few \"stragglers\" were thought to be the only Yugoslav troops left in the southern zone of Kosovo as the deadline for their withdrawal passed. Midnight local time - 11pm in the UK - was the time agreed with Nato for all Serb forces to be out of Zone 1, which covers the south of the province and includes a 'finger' pointing north to contain the capital Pristina.

Landmines no barrier to human flood
A LOGJAM of traffic built up on the Kosovo borders yesterday as thousands of ethnic Albanians struggled to get back to their homes, while British soldiers attempted to protect the Serb army from the rebel KLA as they withdrew from the province. The refugees continued to ignore warnings Kosovo was still heavily landmined as they poured over the border, while roads leading north were packed with Serbs. Some were departing Yugoslav soldiers, others civilians frightened of possible revenge attacks by the Kosovo Liberation Army. There were details last night of a massacre in a village of Poklek near the capital, Pristina, in which 52 people, including 24 children were killed when a single Serb policeman opened fire. According to reports by the BBC and the Daily Telegraph survivors said he herded the families into a room slammed the door and shot through it before opening it to throw in a hand grenade.
