Skoplje, May 13 (SRNA) - In the Tetovo village of Neprosteno for the past 20 or so days armed Kosovo Albanians, former members of the KLA, have been patrolling in order to provoke new ethnic tensions in Macedonia in this and other neighboring villages with an ethnic Albanian population, writes the Skoplje daily "Vecer".
According to the sources of that Skoplje paper, the leaders of the group are putting pressure on the Albanian political parties in Macedonia, the Democratic Union for Integration and the Democratic Party of Albanians to demand the annexation of a part of western Macedonia to neighboring Albania within the context of the battle for an independent Kosovo.
The Macedonian ministry of internal affairs has advised that it has no knowledge of the presence of armed groups from Kosovo in Macedonia.
"The situation in the state is normal and there are no indicators of destabilization," stated Goran Pavlovski, the chief of cabinet of Macedonian minister of internal affairs Ljubomir Mihajlov-Dzanga.
The Democratic Party of Albanians has advised that such situations occur regularly before every election and denied that its members were involved.
Parliamentary elections in Macedonia are scheduled for July 5.
They are greedy buggers.
The devil never sleeps.
Next time, let's support the non-Muslim side.
Albos never left, they were saved by NATO in 2001 when Macedonian army crushed them
Same old, same old
Quagmire, clinton and wussly clark style.
agressive muslim vakhabi nation.
Very interesting. A fact seems to be that most anywhere in any country, in most continents on the face of the earth, sectarian violence exists where Muslims will not be content to "convert" non-believers but rather kill them into submission (don't mention Northern Ireland, but remember is said "most" countries, etc.)
