1. Introduction: Area and Population<br />

Located in south-central Kosovo, <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> lies astride the main highway between<br />

Prizren and Pristina. The municipality is comprised of 42 villages plus the town of<br />

<strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>. 1 <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> was the scene of one of the most notorious Serb atrocities<br />

during the 1999 conflict, the killing of 52 members of the extended Berisha family.<br />

In the post-conflict period <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> has been notable for the continuing high level of<br />

LDK influence in local affairs and municipal government. This stands in stark<br />

contrast to other Kosovo municipalities.<br />

An estimated 90% of houses throughout the municipality suffered some form of<br />

damage, if not destruction, during the conflict. Others were burned in the immediate<br />

post-conflict period, as <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>’s small Serb population joined the exodus of JNA<br />

and VJ forces.<br />

<strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>’s pre-conflict population of approximately 87,000 included roughly 500<br />

Serbs and a handful of Roma. Very few, if any, Serbs remain, though approximately<br />

35 Roma families have stayed on, in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> town and the villages of Gelance,<br />

Trrnje, and Leshan. Approximately 2000 Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are<br />

believed to be present in the municipalitiy. 2<br />

2. Civil Administration<br />

<strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> was the first municipality in Kosovo in which the parallel structure<br />

appointed by the Thaci ‘government’ was dismantled by the UN. This occurred on 8<br />

October 1999 when newly-arrived UN Administrator Roberto Valent forced out<br />

‘Mayor’ Haki Gashi. In a subsequent action on 18 January 2000 Valent took control<br />

of the remaining office occupied by Thaci-appointed officials. Valent and UNCA<br />

Deputy Administrator Rachid Arfi received death threats, and Valent was physically<br />

assaulted, during the latter incident.<br />

Valent’s relative success in exerting the UN’s authority in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> stems from a<br />

combination of factors. First and foremost, Valent, experienced in post-conflict civil<br />

administration, is not easily steamrolled by the PPDK 3 and other political parties<br />

sympathetic to the previous Thaci ‘government’. <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> remains an LDK<br />

stronghold, as confirmed by OSCE village-level field research conducted in late 1999.<br />

Finally, local LDK leaders were active in the Kosovo Liberation Army (UCK) and<br />

can therefore lay claim to continued legitimacy in the UNMIK era.<br />

1 Part of <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> belongs to a municipality, Malishevo, which existed previously and which the UN<br />

Civil Administration may again officially restore. All figures here correspond as far as possible to the<br />

UN-recognised area of <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>, although the accuracy of secondary sources cannot be guaranteed.<br />

2 Source: UN Public Information Office, Prizren, and HCIC GIS Unit, Pristina, November 1999.<br />

3 Political party acronyms are written out in table 3.1.<br />

3


As of late February 2000, <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>’s 13 member Administrative Board included 6<br />

LDK members, 2 from PPK, 2 independents, and 1 whose party affiliation is<br />

unknown. The lone PPDK member (former ‘Mayor’ Gashi) has thus far refused to<br />

accept the vice presidency offered to him by Valent. Six of the Valent-appointed<br />

Board members were members of the Thaci-appointed municipal ‘government’.<br />

Despite four weeks of intensive negotiations with <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>’s six political parties, a<br />

<strong>Municipal</strong> Council had not yet been formed. It is hoped that a <strong>Municipal</strong> Council<br />

comprising an even balance between LDK/NDSH and the PPDK/LKCK/PPK/<br />

UNIKOMB ‘bloc’, along with 2-4 independents, will be formed by early March.<br />

Note: Haki Gashi has not taken up his duties as Vice President, due to a lack of a final agreement between PPDK and UN<br />

<strong>Municipal</strong> Administrator Valent.<br />

3. Political Parties<br />

As of late February 2000 seven political parties are active within the municipality.<br />

These are LDK, LKCK, PPDK, PPK, NDSH, UNIKOMB, and LBD 4 . While LBD,<br />

LPK and PNDSH (Demo-Christians) began organizing activities early in 2000, they<br />

have yet to hold a municipal assembly or elect a municipality-wide presidency.<br />

In interviews conducted in mid-February 2000, only LDK claimed to have party<br />

branches in all 42 villages. PPK had the next highest number, with 10. PPDK has<br />

only 3 village branches, though the party claims to have picked up the pace of its<br />

organizing. LDK President Uke Bytyqi claimed that a member registration drive due<br />

to be completed in March 2000 would reveal 20-22,000 members among an estimated<br />

electorate of 30,000. Though this estimate seems inflated, it is likely that LDK has<br />

the highest level of support in the municipality. Beyond that, it is hard to know, even<br />

vaguely, what level of support the other parties enjoy. Despite its insistent demands<br />

with respect to the Administrative Board and <strong>Municipal</strong> Council, PPDK may have<br />

little real support. Village-level contacts by KFOR soldiers suggest this to be the<br />

case. Only the local elections scheduled for autumn 2000 will sort out the situation.<br />

Bujar Bukoshi, Prime Minister of the ‘Republic of Kosova’ headed by Ibrahim<br />

Rugova is from Bukosh village, which lies within the municipality.<br />

4. Local and International NGOs<br />

Local NGOs: In addition to the well-known NGOs such as Mother Teresa, the<br />

Kosovo Red Cross and Handikos, several new NGOs and organisations have recently<br />

started to spread (see list below).<br />

International NGOs: Only two international NGOs are currently based in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>:<br />

ADAB (Associatione per le donne dell’Area dei Balcani) an Italian NGO working<br />

closely with the Centre for Protection of Women and Children, a local NGO, and<br />

ASBO (Austrian Samariters) who are based at the Austrian KFOR. All the other<br />

international NGOs are operating from Prizren. Several international NGOs, including<br />

CRS (Catholic Relief Services) and MALTESER, work as implementing partners for<br />

the UNHCR. CARE, Humanitarian Carco Carriers (HCC), Medicins Sans Frontieres<br />

(MSF), Relief International, Action Medeor, International Rescue Committee (IRC),<br />

Tear Fund, Help, Diakonie, and World Vision are planning to start several projects in<br />

the spring. Many other international NGOs are planning to work in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> as this<br />

municipality has been severely destroyed. An list of these NGOs will be issued by<br />

UNHCR at the end of March.<br />

5. Other Civilian International Presence<br />

OSCE’s FO <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> staff began its inaugural round of meetings with local civic,<br />

political, military and religious leaders on 11 January 2000. As of late February,<br />

however, the field office’s 5 international and 3 local staff still operated out of the RC<br />

Prizren building, while awaiting HQ’s final approval of a proposed field office site.<br />

UNCA Valent arrived in early October 1999. He is currently assisted by a Deputy,<br />

two Civil Affairs officers and one UNV. An EU municipal finance official who<br />

arrived in early February was subsequently reassigned to the UN’s regional<br />

headquarters in Prizren. UNHCR has no office in the municipality. Also the ICRC,<br />

WFP and UNICEF are active in the <strong>Municipal</strong>ity, although they operate from Prizren.<br />

Several national agencies are operating or planning to operate in this area: GTZ<br />

(German Agency for Reconstruction and Development), a German national agency, is<br />

UNHCR partner for the distribution of roofing kits. The American development<br />

agency USAID and the German civil protection agancy THW (Technisches<br />

Hilfswerk) are planning to start programs as well as.<br />

6. Religion and Places of Worship<br />

The predominant religion in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> is Islam. There are also a number of<br />

Orthodox churches and one Catholic Church. The municipality includes 19 mosques,<br />

of which 15 were heavily damaged or destroyed during the conflict. All four of the<br />

Orthodox churches were destroyed after Yugoslav troops quit the area. As a result,<br />

there is no need for KFOR protection at this time. The Catholic Church also suffered<br />

some damage. Although the Imam and the Priest play an important role in the<br />

society, there are no signs of political influence within the religious community. The<br />

local Islamic Council has been asked by UN Administrator Valent to appoint a<br />

Council member to the new <strong>Municipal</strong> Council, as a non-political party<br />

representative.<br />

7. Media<br />

There are no local newspapers in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>. 6 correspondents are writing for the<br />

major newspapers based in Pristina. One local radio station based next to the Civil-<br />

Military Co-ordination (CIMIC) offices of the Austrian KFOR is broadcasting every<br />

day between 17.00 and 22.00.<br />

8. Judicial System<br />

Eleven judges were appointed on 10 January 2000, 5 for the <strong>Municipal</strong> Court, 6 for<br />

the Minor Offense Court. The court building was extensively looted during the war,<br />

with nearly all equipment stolen. As a result, the courts lack almost all-basic working<br />

materials.<br />

9. Police, Civil Protection, and Military Presence<br />

UNMIK Civil Police currently has 37 officers from the USA, Nigeria, Ghana,<br />

Malaysia, Austria and Germany. Two members of the Kosovo Police Service (KPS)<br />

are being trained by UNMIK Civil Police.<br />

The Kosovo Protection Corps (TMK) is present in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> with different units<br />

stationed in three different locations: in the village of Sellagrazhde, in the Balkan<br />

Hotel in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> town, and in a building located behind the UN <strong>Municipal</strong><br />

Building of <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>. A training course configured by the International<br />

Organisation for Migration (IOM) and implemented by KFOR, which includes first<br />

aid, mountain rescue drills and emergency reaction should start soon. The final<br />

number of TMK members present in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> <strong>Municipal</strong>ity after the training should<br />

be of approximately 211.<br />

An Austrian KFOR contingent (450 Austrian soldiers) and a Dutch contingent (120<br />

soldiers) are responsible for the security in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> municipality. With the Austrian<br />

contingent a Swiss company of approximately 140 military personnel is on duty.<br />

Associated to the Austrian KFOR there is also a group of approximately 40 Slovak<br />

soldiers. The relationship of KFOR with the local population seems to be good and<br />

they are well respected in the community.<br />

10. Economics<br />

<strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>’s pre-conflict industry has been dominated by two firms, the Balkan<br />

Rubber Factory and OBI/Kosovavera. Being socially-owned enterprises (owned<br />

mainly by the workers of the plants), both firms now nominally operate under<br />

UNMIK supervision.<br />

Balkan produced rubber belts for industrial use and employed approximately 1,800<br />

workers, including 1,500 ethnic Albanian and 300 Serbs, before the war. Although<br />

the plant was largely spared destruction during the conflict, some capital equipment<br />

was looted from the premises. Balkan’s new managers are struggling to restart<br />

production, but are burdened by large outstanding debts. Balkan has nevertheless<br />

secured a minor contract with the local German KFOR for vehicle belt production.


OBI/Kosovavera is a combined soft-drink and wine producer. The soft drink side is a<br />

subsidiary of the Belgrade Cadbury-Schweppes unit, itself a subsidiary of Cadbury-<br />

Schweppes of Great Britain. As a result, significant ownership issues are entailed in<br />

any effort to reach production, marketing and credit agreements with prospective<br />

customers and lenders outside of Kosovo. Similar politically knotty issues have<br />

hampered the wine producing arm’s attempt to market its wine in Germany. The<br />

would-be customer requires a label indicating ‘Yugoslavia’ as the country of origin,<br />

while OBI/Kosovavera managers insist on ‘Kosova’.<br />

Unemployment figures are currently unavailable. They would be unreliable in any<br />

case, due to the prevalence of unreported income. Small-scale enterprises including<br />

auto repair shops, furniture making, lumber production, metalworking and restaurants<br />

have sprung up rapidly in the post-conflict period, lending some vitality to this sector.<br />

However, it is likely that the largest income in the year 2000 will be derived from<br />

small-scale agriculture.<br />

11. Infrastructure<br />

A poor and still deteriorating infrastructure is the most obvious problem confronting<br />

the municipality. Most immediately apparent to the visitor is the appalling condition<br />

of the main road through <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> town. On the worst days it can take an hour to<br />

transit the 2 kilometres through the town centre. Complete reconstruction will be an<br />

urgent priority in the spring. Less apparent is the continuing lack of electricity.<br />

While the situation improved for much of Kosovo in January 2000, it is still common<br />

for <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> to have 4 or fewer hours of electricity per day. While telephone<br />

service has recently been restored, it is still very limited and usable only for calls<br />

within <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong>. Because of the presence of Austrian KFOR troops, cellular phone<br />

users with Austrian chips can use their phones as long as they are in close proximity<br />

to the town centre. As for domestic water, many homes in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> town have had<br />

no running water for a period since autumn of 1999. As mentioned in the<br />

Introduction, housing stock was gravely impacted during the conflict, with up to 90%<br />

of all homes suffering some form of damage.<br />

12. Social Services, Health, and Education<br />

As in all municipalities of Kosovo an Emergency Social Welfare Assistance Program<br />

has been started by UNMIK. Stipends have been paid to pensioners and other<br />

disadvantaged groups from the beginning of March. The UNMIK-supported Centre<br />

of Social Work of <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> has started to become active and tries to co-ordinate all<br />

activities in the municipality that deal with social problems.


There is one large Health Centre in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> town including an<br />

obstetric/gynaecologic clinic. The director is Mr. Sali Asllanaj. 10 small “ambulantes”<br />

(clinics) are located in the municipality. Emergency ambulances are currently being<br />

organised by UNMIK and the international NGO ASBO.<br />

A total of 23 primary schools can be found in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> municipality. Two<br />

secondary schools are located in <strong>Suva</strong> <strong>Reka</strong> town as well as a small medical school,<br />

which is a branch of the one in Prizren. Most of the schools have been severely<br />

damaged. 10 primary schools have been fully destroyed. Most of the schools have no<br />

water, no functioning toilets and most of them need basic writing instruments and<br />

paper.<br />
