The new government of Kosovo and... the danger of division
By Dalip GRECA
Kosovo is feeling, moment by moment, the fear of abandonment and the terror of war. Meanwhile, the last diplomats are packing their bags, and OSCE observers are crossing the Macedonian border, signaling the end of the mission, or surrender in the face of the Serbs. NATO is giving no indication that it will replace them. It seems that Easter will be a long way off. The question may soon be asked: when will NATO enter the land devastated by the fires of war? Every passing minute brings closer the tragedy of the adventurer Millosheviç. Yesterday, he announced a diabolical plan: on the one hand, to drive Albanians from their homes through bombardments and looting, and on the other, to blockade them after they flee, in other parts of the territory.

She lives as a widow on the small island of Ile de Re, opposite La Rochelle, a small coastal town in Great Britain.
