The new government in Belgrade has been restrained in its reaction to attacks by ethnic Albanian insurgents in the Presevo Valley region, but the rebels have become more brazen. Three Serbian police were killed in mid-February in a landmine attack blamed on the rebels, and the insurgents are also suspected in an even more deadly attack on Serb civilians whose bus was blown up in Kosovo. At some point the Serb public will demand that its government take tough, swift action against the rebels. NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports.
