Albanian/Nat Decrying the latest Serb aggression, thousands of ethnic Albanians took to the streets of Pristina in protest on Wednesday. Some 20- thousand Kosovo Albanians marched through the main street of the provincial capital bearing banners that read: "NATO, Kosovo is burning" and "NATO, tomorrow will be too late". The demonstration escalated into violence as groups of protesters leaving the rally - the 60th consecutive demonstration - got into a stone-throwing scuffle with Serbs. As many as 20-thousand ethnic Albanians took to the streets of Pristina, Kosovo's capital to protest against the latest Serb aggression in the troubled Serbian southern province. Many called for rapid NATO intervention to stop the region's escalating violence. Others were more cynical, believing neither NATO nor the U-S will intervene to prevent more carnage in the region. SOUNDBITE: (Albanian) "Probably they are going to let them repeat what they did in Bosnia. I don't believe in NATO, and neither do I believe in U-S special forces and unfortunately the Bosnian tragedy is repeating." SUPER CAPTION: VOX POP, Hakmane Lamaj The protesters fervently chanted "U-C-K," the Albanian language acronym for the Kosovo Liberation Army - and sang a popular Albanian song, praising their ethnic leader Ibrahim Rugova. Rugova is currently attending meetings of the Contact Group nations in Europe which monitors developments in the former Yugoslavia, and seek help for his people. Banners read: "NATO, Kosovo is burning!" and "NATO, tomorrow will be too late" . Many demonstrators carried Albanian and U-S flags. With national passions running high, many said that a full blown war is the only solution. SOUNDBITE: (Albanian) "What do I think about mobilisation? It will probably be necessary, and if we need that, we are going to do that, there's no other choice". SUPER CAPTION: VOX POP, Enver Demaj The demonstration turned violent as groups of protesters leaving the rally - the 60th consecutive demonstration - got into a stone-throwing scuffle with Serbs. Several cars were stoned and a university bookstore window shattered. One group of young Albanians going towards the Pristina University building smashed windshields of several cars driving along that street. Serbs passing by engaged them in a fist fight on the street. Police intervened and dispersed the protesters. After the protest march demonstrators dispersed in the side streets of Pristina. No further violence was reported early on Wednesday elsewhere in the province, where ethnic Albanians outnumber Serbs 9-to-1.
