Buffer Zone 02 -Lucani, Serbia, 2001 Serbian policeman in patrol in village Lucani. Ethnic Albanian rebels calling themselves the "Liberation Army of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja" (UCPMB in Albanian) exploited a five kilometre-wide demilitarized strip along the Kosovo border inside Serbia - the Ground Safety Zone (GSZ), established in June 1999 to prevent accidental clashes between NATO forces and the Yugoslav (Serbian) Army. Operating from the GSZ, the UCPMB attacked Serbian police and civilian targets with virtual impunity.
