World IN BRIEF : YUGOSLAVIA : Leaders Seek Calm After 5 Serbs Killed

Leaders of the ethnic Albanian community in the Serbian province of Kosovo sought to calm tensions after five Serbs were shot and killed in apparent revenge for the killing of an Albanian. Serbian authorities refrained from threatening retaliation and did not criticize Albanian leaders directly, possibly to avoid further escalation of violence. Separate shootings Monday evening in four towns across the province took place within the space of an hour, leaving five Serbs dead and four wounded. A fifth man wounded was a Muslim. The incidents occurred barely 24 hours after a Serb shot and killed a 20-year-old Albanian medical student in Pristina.
