POV

On the 22nd March 1990, over 400 students and children were treated for displaying symptoms characterizing poisoning. The out-break was seen as a Serb plot to exterminate ethnic-Albanians, and fulfill nationalistic goals and desires. Serb officials called it "mass hysteria" and propaganda perpetrated by Albanian separatists. The out-break was followed by protests and assaults on Kosovar Serbs and Montenegrins by 4000 ethnic-Albanians.
