KLA 'revenge attacks' condemned
Roma gypsies ave been expelled from cities and towns across Kosovo
The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR says it is increasingly alarmed about revenge attacks suffered by minorities in Kosovo.
They have settled in camps as refugees living in squalid, desperate conditions.
Harassment, beatings and intimidation allegedly carried out by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) are being reported on a daily basis by both minorities.
The BBC's Orla Guerin says that the houses where they once lived have been looted and reduced to rubble by Kosovo Albanians.
No political will
"The Albanians want to kill us," she cried.
Human rights campaigners are now transcribing testimonies from those who have been victimised by the intimidation.
Fred Abrahams of the Human Rights Watch organisation, said: "Generally, the political will to protect these minorities is lacking. There hasn't been enough attention paid to their protection."
