Statement by the Albanian government regarding the electoral process in Kosovo TIRANA. - The Government of the Republic of Albania is following with great attention the developments surrounding the recent elections in Kosovo, convinced of the importance of this event despite the grim atmosphere of police terror that still reigns there. The publication of the election announcement has strengthened, for the first time, the organization of the Kosovar political vote. The elections once again confirmed the superiority of the moderate and realistic forces led by Dr. Ibrahim Rugova. Making possible one of the important factors on which Kosovo's democratic future can be built. The reason for the impunity of Miloseviç's regime in Kosovo is the opportunistic behavior of certain decision-making centers that have reduced the Kosovo problem to a matter of respect for human rights and minorities, without taking into account its people's aspiration for freedom, independence and democracy. The Government of the Republic of Albania calls on the community of democratic countries to consider the Kosovo issue, without confining it within the framework of non-conflict. These three days of tension and of the threat of violence and tension in Kosovo are the latest evidence of the great destabilization this region carries.
