From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Car horns blasted, factory whistles wailed and about 20,000 ethnic Albanians shouted “Glory to the Kosovo heroes!” in a public show of mourning for 29 compatriots killed in recent clashes. Yugoslav riot police swarmed over Pristina, the provincial capital, and were sent to nearby towns in anticipation of renewed protests by the Albanian Muslims, who form a majority in the province but are ruled by predominantly Orthodox Christian Serbia. The Albanians want greater autonomy from Serbia.
