UN: Compensate Kosovo Lead Poisoning Victims
Families, Children Left Ill, Destitute
![Roma children play in the Cesmin Lug refugee camp in Mitrovica city, northern Kosovo. Cesmin Lug is one of several camps that the UN established in what was known to be a heavily contaminated area near a defunct lead mine.

Serbia: Independent journalists continue to face intimidation, threats, and violence. Pro-government media continues to smear campaigns against independent journalists and outlets who report critically on the government. War crimes prosecutions remain slow, inefficient, and marred by delays. A pan-European pride parade in Belgrade took place with police protection, despite authorities having banned it, underscoring the precarious situation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.
Kosovo: Progress on accountability for war time abuses remains slow although a special court establish to cases has started trying cases. Journalists face attacks, harassment, and threats with a poor state response. Domestic violence survivors continue to face obstacles to obtaining protection. The UN has yet to provide individual compensation to Roma, Ashkali, and Balkan Egyptian victims of now-closed lead contaminated refugee camps in Northern Kosovo managed by the UN.
