Prishtine, Kosove – 27 September 2007 – The terrorist group “The Guard of Czar Lazar” re-surfaced again in Kosovo, threatening NATO, UN and Kosovo’s population in a letter that has been obtained by the Associated Press.

The threat of this paramilitary group that has been banned by the UN calls UN and NATO “terrorists and occupiers” and claims that they would “intervene in the event or unilateral declaration of independence”.

The Guard of Czar Lazar – a group of individuals, many of whom are responsible for crimes in Kosovo in the 90’s - named after a medieval Serb leader who reportedly fought the Ottoman Turks in Kosovo in 1389 - said the UN and NATO would face "plenty of surprises," should they prevent a protest that the group has called for Oct. 14 in Kosovo's Serb dominated north.

“We are well aware that you are peacekeepers and side with Albanian terrorist occupiers, instead of fighting them, and forbid Serbs to enter holy Kosovo” the group alleged.

“Czar Lazar are a banned group and cannot enter Kosovo,” said Alexander Ivanko, the spokesman for the U.N. administration in Kosovo. However, armed members of this group have been roaming through Serb inhabited areas of Kosovo freely in the last 2 years.
