Yesterday, Albanian officials expressed their gratitude to the general who led the bombing campaign against Milošević, thanks to which the Albanians of Kosovo were saved from Serbian genocide Yesterday, the Albanian Headquarters, by expressing gratitude to the general who led NATO’s military operation in Kosovo under the order “Operation Annihilation” and who today serves as Chief of Staff for the Alliance forces in southern Europe, General Clark was received by the entire government and military elite. His name is combined with that of the Balkans. From President Clinton to Ismail in Tirana, Albanian officials honored him yesterday with the Gold Medal “For Distinguished Service.” Invited by the government to Tirana are also his close staff, with whom he arrived at one of the country’s largest airports. NATO forces set out to bring all their gear to our country under the 11-week campaign to greet and thank up close the hunger from NATO’s weapons. “This makes me feel very honored,” said the American general. “To make it easier to drive the Serbian forces out of Kosovo,” but as the director stated, who produced intelligence in detail during the 9 months of the crisis with the assigned task “to help the Albanian government with the next steps of the war to liberate Kosovo.” The other guests for Tirana set off toward Tirana with two helicopters used by the Albanian government. Speaking meanwhile about the Albanians of Kosovo, Clark assessed that their decision to welcome NATO planes with ovations had shown the maturity of the Kosovars. “We have never stopped the attacks of Serbian forces in Kosovo. However, I was amazed by the resistance, courage, bravery and determination of the Albanian people. But from what I am seeing even during this time here, they are convincing me that the future lies in cooperation and democracy. All these things, which I learned here a year ago, during the time when the liberation of Kosovo began, will remain for me among the most beautiful memories of my life,” said the American general. Asked about the future of Kosovo and its relations with Albania, Clark replied that “Kosovo’s democratic processes can move forward, but they must have a healthy democratic link with the mother state.” In this framework, Clark said that dialogue with the Serbs must continue, but it must be cautious. “We must build bridges of communication, but not with those Serbs who were responsible for the ethnic cleansing and genocide in Kosovo. But with those Serbs who think they are democrats. All of them must reconsider their positions toward the Albanians of Kosovo,” the American chief further assessed. All these, Clark said, “are the foundations and the prelude to the integration of the Balkans into a better future.” Clearly also focused on Albania, where they are for a meeting with Prime Minister Meta, the representatives of NATO’s supreme command, General Clark and Admiral Ellis, not without purpose also brought their Albanian experience with them.
