New Balkan Flare-Up

Muslim Albanian war veterans threaten war on Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia, Greece calls them occupiers of Muslims

An influential ethnic Albanian Secretary from the Organization of the Veterans of the Army for the Liberation of Kosovo, Faton Klinaku, has accused Balkan states – Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia and Greece – of being occupying nations and has threatened war on them to take away their land in case Kosovo is separated.

“The Macedonians, Montenegrins and the Serbs from Eastern Kosovo [Southern Serbia are occupiers and the Albanian people live in the conditions of a classic occupation in their lands. This is also valid for the Albanians in Greece, since Greece refuses to recognize their rights,” Klinaku told the Bulgarian news agency Focus.

“We fought for the freedom of the Albanian people. Every other decision different from that would lead to violence for which both the politicians and the international community would be guilty,” said Klinaku.

“Where there are more Albanians – there will be Albania. This will happen if they start a separation of Kosovo. At the end of it all, such development is in our benefit, since all Albanians will unite in a single country,” Klinaku said. According to the ethnic Albanian provisional Prime Minister of Kosovo, Agim Ceku, the ethnic Albanians will declare Kosovo independent and seek recognition from its Western backers immediately after the December 10 of this year, the date when the negotiations on the status will end.

Ceku also said that Kosovo will remain stable as long as Western powers recognize that declaration immediately. Ceku did not specify the level of violence ethnic Albanians plan on causing in order to destabilize the region in case they do not get a recognition.

Agim Ceku is a former Croatian commanding officer who took part in a massive ethnic cleansing campaign of Serbian population of Croatia.

Kosovo is a UN administered province of Serbia whose ethnic Albanian population has expelled over two thirds of its Christian population in an attempt to make the province a religiously pure extremist Muslim state.
