Thaçi forms the Kosovo government without Rugova’s people
Albanian political leaders in Kosovo announce that it is Kosovo’s, but once and for all excluding Ibrahim Rugova. Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi has appointed ministers for the government of the refugees, but without him, immediately after Rugova’s meeting with Slobodan Milošević. The latter’s military-police forces have so far expelled more than half a million Albanians from their homes in Kosovo. The leaders of the popular government of Kosovo see Rugova’s unexpected meeting as an unacceptable and shameful act. The post of Thaçi’s deputy remains vacant, while the names of the ministers of the refugee government are expected to become known during the day. LDK candidates will be excluded from the government!
The continent’s black stain
ROBIN KUKA
The continent’s black stain
People were coming out of their houses, while Serbian paramilitary and regular forces did everything to instill fear in the Kosovo Albanians. Horror and violence. They beat, insulted, killed, burned, looted, forcing them to leave their Albanian homes completely. At the end of the nightmare, Europe paid for the cynicism of despotism with its own indifference. It was truly strange. Milošević was exploiting the rotating presidency that his country held in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, bringing Greece with him, the perennial opponent, to block Kosovo. During its presidency, Iran gave the Serbs the opportunity to carry out genocide with impunity, while Europe appeared gripped by the fever of an imaginary peace. It was in delirium. European diplomatic language has a soft vocabulary, ready to see reality by being softened by it. It was content with vague words about “conflict,” “humanitarian crisis,” while ethnic cleansing was taking place in the heart of Europe. And when the images of columns of refugees filled the screens, it was far too late for the continent to acknowledge its own dark stain.

Notice to readers
“On Sunday, “KJ” starts again with 32 pages
“Koha Jonë” is once again being published with this increased page count. The circulation has grown, and in the newspaper market “koha jonë” is now the largest newspaper in Albanian-speaking areas. With this increase in pages we aim to cover more topics and a wider variety of themes. In the first days of the week beginning on Monday, the new photocomposition machine will arrive from Italy and Germany, and “koha jonë” will once again become a monopoly in the Albanian newspaper market. Based on our belief that NATO’s engagement will also last, “koha jonë” will once again be available to readers as early as possible. We apologize for the appearance of this Saturday’s page, but we have temporarily turned to the offices of “Anadolu press” to multiply our newspaper. This phototypesetting and processing center is providing a correct service. In any case, they also have modern printing machines at their disposal as well as their modern photography laboratory. We apologize and believe that mutual understanding will prevail among our many loyal readers. Of course, for Kosovo always and to the end!”
The whole of Albania and the world must turn their eyes to Kukës.
The city is dying from the flood of Albanians. The streets are filled with old people lying on the ground and infants letting out loud cries in the cold. 10 people, but so far 10 people have died. But, until the morale of the government until the morale of the government until it takes the journalists and the catastrophe may happen...
