Kurti, 45 thousand Serbs threaten
Hajdari: We are ready, we have NATO’s help
Our army is unfit to defend
KOSOVA / Fierce debate in Parliament among defense leaders
Sabit Brokaj
Despite optimistic statements, yesterday the debate over the condition of the Albanian army and the possibility of involvement in the Kosovo crisis continued. Defense Minister Sabit Brokaj stated that Albania is not militarily prepared for a direct conflict, while MP Azem Hajdari stressed that the country has NATO’s support. The discussion mentioned 45,000 Serbian forces near the border with Kosovo and the risk of the situation escalating.

Where are they heading with Kosovo?
Sabit Godo
What was treated as an ordinary kidnapping and the government was satisfied with its own remedies, while the intervention that followed by Serbian military forces drew the attention of the whole world. The entire scene has entered a new phase and Kosovo has become the gravest wound in the Balkans. While in Tirana people speak of reactions and preparations, the question remains: where are they heading with Kosovo?

The "traitor" came from Rugova
TIRANË
- A graceful bud, determined eyes. A smile cast like a small moon. Mothers from Kosovo had come all the way here with their children to spend the night in Tirana. A little girl was waiting with her father. In the hall there were many people, uniforms, voices, and a hidden anxiety.

REPORTAGE / In the worried bed where everyone is bought
People who fled death
SHKODËR - “Where should we run to in Gjakovë, they told us after evening had fallen that two grenades had landed in the yard of the house. That frightened us. We got up, took the children and fled to Albania” [?]. “The road to Albania was dangerous, but there was no other solution” [?].
At the border, many of them had lost everything. 200-3000 marks were paid to cross, while in Kukës they found only temporary shelter. “We didn’t even have bread” [?].
In the reception centers, refugees recounted their escape, their fear and their losses.
