By Eric Wagner W A S H I N G T O N, Feb. 4 A State Department spokesman wouldnt comment on the New York Daily News report that Albright was mistaken for a maid during last years peace negotiations for Kosovo in Rambouillet, France. Albright at first wasnt recognized by the Albanian delegation when she walked into their room, it said. One member of the delegation, who didnt realize who she was, and probably thinking she was some cleaning lady because it was after midnight, simply said to her, Give us five minutes and please go away, recalled Albanian diplomat Dugagjin Gorani in War on Europe, a British TV program. Instead, Albright exploded in rage, swearing at the group, according to the reports. Mrs. Albright started using explicit language which the translators never could translate into Albanian, says Veton Surroi, another member of the delegation. |
