The Democratic Party asks the UN Security Council for an international investigation into Albanians deported by the Macedonian government Regional coordination for the deportation of Albanians from their homelands The government is stealing the aid Shocking information is putting the country at risk: 70,000 Kosovar Albanians in Has and thousands in the Tropoja district. The government is silent. All aid funds coming from Italy, the Government and other institutions are being stolen and diverted from their destination. This is what is happening with around 300 trucks blocked at the Albanian customs with goods that are urgently needed by the Albanians expelled from Kosovo. The American public representative for the country's budget has told the press that 7.7 billion lek have disappeared. Its representative, John [?], through the state headquarters, has asked where this money has gone. According to the spokesman for this group, who met with representatives of the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party, the amount was disbursed last month with the aim of helping the Albanians of Kosovo. Today as well, Mr. Genc Pollo said that the largest opposition party has reliable information that the government is using army facilities to transfer 25,000 Kosovar Albanians from depa and then leave them to their fate in Kukës. According to Mr. Pollo, the Kosovars are divided into two parts. One part enters Albania as war refugees and another part, whom the government treats as a contingent, so that they are transferred as far from the border as possible. For the latter, the government has no kind of registration. For the other groups, no one is accountable and it is not known where they have been placed. In this way, 25,000 Kosovar Albanians are considered disappeared. The Democratic Party has addressed a letter to the Security Council of the United Nations, asking it to send an international investigative mission to the Albanian-Macedonian border and to the refugee camps in Macedonia to investigate the deportation of thousands of Albanians by the Macedonian government, with the aim of ethnic cleansing. The Democrats call on the Albanian government to provide full information on the situation of the refugees, the distribution of aid, and the camps where the Kosovar Albanians are sheltered.
