Refugees from the Yugoslav province of Kosovo make their way throught the Albanian
hills near Tropoja. Some 40,000 people have fled the fighting since the latest
Serb offensive began a week ago, many crossing the border to Albania, which
has been struggling to cope with the flood of refugees. More than 50 ethnic
Albanians have been killed and about 200 are missing, a separatist leader
said Friday. Ethnic Albanians now form 90 percent of Kosovo's 2 million people
and want to secede form Serbia, the larger of Yugoslavia's two republics.
