Well it is more news to those who follow the Balkans and issues there. I guess the Balkans isn't any concern to you. Sorry it wasted a few precious seconds of your computer time.

Ask the moderator to remove it if it bothers you that bad.

These soldiers are part of a group of western soldiers stealing and keeping land for the Muslim Albanian criminals. The ones hyped on your TV 24/7 back for 3 months in 1999.
