  • Story Text: United Nations Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson
    has arrived in Pristina to judge for herself the latest human
    rights issues in Kosovo.

    Robinson's visit to Pristina coincides with the return
    of four U.N.human rights monitors.

    On Mrs Robinson's arrival she told the waiting press that
    she would inform herself of the human rights issues on the
    ground and would then see to the issues of protection and safe
    return of Kosovar Albanians, also the protection of the Serb
    population.

    The UN Commissioner was due to have a meeting later with
    General Sir Michael Jackson and then visit a mass grave at
    Zlatari.

    Mrs Robinson told waiting journalists on her arrival she
    would be giving a news conference later.
