information at UNHCR. Landmines are recognized to be both
anti-personal and anti-tank mines.

"While UNHCR cannot confirm various reports about mines in Kosovo, it
is confirmed that mines have been laid along the Albanian and
Macedonian border with Kosovo and in the areas of Lapusnik, Iglrevo,
Rakovina and the road between Rakovina and Klina."

Landmines are confirmed in the area of;

- Junik and surroundings, particularly a dirt road which goes to the
north from the village of Junik

- Yugoslav-Albanian border

- south of Grevnik (south of Dolac checkpoint in Klina mun.)

Advice from KDOM are:

- Not to enter any trenches or bunkers;
- better to take hard-surface roads;
- use non-paved roads only used by people in the area;
- gather information from local people.
