After the introduction of the German Mark as Kosovo currency, a pack of top Swiss journalists will be dispatched to take over the radio and TV in Kosovo as the only way to provide unbiased information on the two (Albanian and Ser) languages. Unfortunately, this has been published in our (Bg) papers without any references. The search so far produced another Swiss project: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_425000/425688.stm

Swiss sending cows to

Kosovo

Switzerland has announced plans to send two-thousand

cows and calves to Kosovo to help replenish the stock of

animals in the province.

The Swiss foreign ministry said the conflict in Kosovo

had left many farmers with no livestock or reduced herds

and quick action was needed to re-stock farms and

restore local milk production before winter arrived.

The agriculture ministry and the Swiss foreign relief

agency plan to start shipping the animals next month.
