UNMIK chief Bernard Kouchner began a series
of visits to Kosovo communities in August to talk directly
with them about their concerns. During a recent stop in
Vucitrn, Dr. Kouchner took part in a "Town Hall Meeting,"
attended by hundreds of local residents, and urged the audience
to participate in the upcoming elections and to be tolerant
of other ethnic communities. The local residents, for their
part, questioned Dr. Kouchner on many issues, including
property rights, travel documents and UNMIK's strategy for
ensuring free and fair elections.
