EX-YUGOSLAVIA. Kosovo. 2001. 

Paolo Pellegrin 

The Local population calls it The Serb Train. It represents the only safe way for members of the Serb and Gypsy communities to travel safely in Albanian dominated areas of Kosovo. The train is also an economic lifeline, allowing Serbs and Gypsies who live in small, poor enclaves to move to bigger towns to work and to buy basic supplies.
The Serb train has been the object of numerous attacks, mainly by Albanians seeking revenge for the 1999 massacres and expulsions, as well as by Serbs when KFOR forces attempted to use Albanian conductors. Today the train is heavily guarded by KFOR troops on board and along the tracks.
