The Commission met, in Room 430, the Dirksen Senate Office Build- ing, Washington, DC., at 10:08 a.m., Hon. Alfonse D'Amato, Chair- man, presiding. Commissioners present: Hon. Christopher H. Smith; Hon. Benjamin Cardin; and Hon. Steny H. Hoyer. OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN ALPHONSE D'AMATO Chairman D'Amato. Today's hearing of the Commission on Secu- rity and Cooperation in Europe is called to examine the current, criti- cal situation in Kosovo. In recent days, continuing Serbian repres- sion of the Kosovar Albanian Majority Population has triggered an escalating spiral of violence that demands U.S. leadership now to stop another outbreak of ethnic cleansing and to achieve a peaceful reso- lution to the crisis. This is one of the times when all people of conscience must speak out, and we must take action to stop the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children. Our distinguished panel of witnesses includes Mr. Isa Zymberi, who is the Director of the London Office of the Kosovo Information Cen- ter. Mr. Zymberi is a principal international spokesman for the lead- ership of the non-recognized Republic of Kosovo.

Their Chronology representatives, therefore, had a special membership in the rotating collective presidency of the state that assumed power after Tito’s death. Each autonomous province had its own central bank and a sepa- rate police, school and judicial system, a provincial assembly, as well as representatives in the Socialist Republic of Serbia’s Assembly, and, which at the time was the most important, the communist party of the province, in the case of Kosovo, the League of Communists of Kosovo. 1981: After the death of Josip Broz Tito, requests from Kosovo Albanians for the full status of the republic increased (which included the right to secession). Since March of that year, beginning with the rebellion of students of University of Prishtina, mass protests took place throughout the province, but the demon- strations met a fierce response, first from the provincial authorities, and then the armed response of the republican and federal security organs.
