ion reporters, was one of two brought to world attention on Wednesday when Serbian authorities responded to newspaper reports of mass graves in Kosovo, where KLA separatists are fighting for independence. The site in Prizren was mentioned on Wednesday by police officials in Orahovac when international observers and reporters descended on the town after reports that more than 500 civilians have been massacred there. Serbian officials sharply denied the report and showed reporters what they said were 40 graves of „terrorists“ — their term for the KLA. There were 11 other graves in Prizren, they said. On Thursday there were 10. A gaping hole appeared in a small row of freshly made graves on the edge of a formal Moslem cemetery. It contained only what looked like a bandage. The other graves were neatly identified with either brown or green markers, some carrying the crescent moon symbol of Islam. Names appeared on the brown markers, numbers on the green ones. Officials said all the bodies had been buried according to Moslem law. The issue of Kosovo graves leapt onto the world stage on Wednesday when Austrian, German and Swedish newspapers carried reports of a mass grave of more than 500 people, mostly children, in Orahovac, scene of intense fighting. Serbian police led reporters to a freshly ploughed rubbish tip, putrid with the smell of decaying bodies, and dotted with temporary markers over what police said were remains of KLA fighters. European Union investigators, sent to the scene immediately by horrified Western leaders, said they found no immediate evidence of a mass grave. An official in Austria, the current EU president, said the investigation would continue.
