Pristina. Hundreds of Kosovo Albanians attended a folk concert to celebrate the 61th birthday of former US president Bill Clinton on Sunday, remembering his support for their separatist struggle.

Dancing to Albanian folk music before a huge birthday cake outside the national theatre, they expressed gratitude for Clinton's approval of a NATO bombing campaign to end a Serbian crackdown during the 1998-99 Kosovo conflict.

"I hope president Clinton lives to be 101. I hope his wife Hillary is elected president and rules America as her husband did," said Lutfi Salihu, a 66-year-old pensioner who attended the concert.

"If it wasn't for him you wouldn't have one single Albanian in Kosovo nowadays."

It was the fourth time Kosovo Albanians have publicly celebrated Clinton's birthday and follows the raptuous welcome for US President George W. Bush in Albania earlier this year.

"We confirmed the love that we Albanians feel towards president Clinton and America as well as the American people," Bekim Rexhepi, the head of the Association of Friends of America, told the crowd.

Who was that guy that sold out the Bosnian Croats? Seems like his name was something like Tudj... Tudjman?

What did he do about Vitez, Miletici, Majine, Krizanicevo Selo and Buhina Kuca?

How about the “camp” at Bugojno? Survivor’s of Bugojno said that Manjaca was a “hotel” compared to Bugojno!

if you go to those places, you’ll find that the Croatians there overwhelmingly favour Tudjman. You can’t win all the battles...but we won the important ones :)

Kosovo is now the sex slavery capital of Europe -- I am sure it was "72 virgins" in compensation for all he did for Allah & the Albanians in the region!
