TIRANA – President Berisha declared yesterday that he welcomes the massive air strike carried out yesterday morning by NATO aircraft against military targets of the Bosnian Serbs. Such an action against the Serbian terrorists is a lawful act and a most deserved response to the massacre they caused on Monday in Sarajevo and to the many criminal acts, amounting to genocide, that they have committed during the war in the former Yugoslavia, the Albanian president’s statement says. According to President Berisha, combining such measures with diplomatic negotiations, as previous precedents have also shown, is the best and quickest way to reach an agreement and establish peace in Bosnia.

A gang in Greek uniforms robbed 23 refugees of 260,000 drachmas, 100,000 lekë and four wristwatches Refugees face two kinds of danger: being caught by Greek soldiers, but also being robbed by their own compatriots; the latter may even pose as Greek soldiers guarding the border. A gang of six, wearing military uniforms and carrying Greek weapons, robbed 23 refugees from Levani and Cakrani who crossed the Greek-Albanian border at Leskovik. “As soon as we crossed the border on the evening of the 26th,” says Bujar Suli from Levani, “suddenly a man from the Police, named A.H., asked us to take him with us. But he directed us toward the track where the robbers had set their trap.” The refugees, in their search for the gang’s weapons—the gang was using Greek army uniforms—handed over 260,000 drachmas, 100,000 lekë and four wristwatches, and were brutally beaten. The “refugee” from the Police left and was caught by Greek soldiers, who, after learning about the robbery, handed him over to the Albanian refugees. The latter handed the captive over to the Fier police station and filed a complaint about theft and violence. “Today I found out that the person we handed over to the police,” says Bujar, “has been released for lack of evidence.” Our sources at the police station report that on Tuesday evening the refugees protested to the station chief and expressed their willingness to testify about everything concerning the gang that robbed them at Leskovik.
