6 hours of fighting near the border in Tropojë 4 KLA soldiers also remained dead KOSHARË-KOSOVO—Fierce clashes between KLA fighters and a unit of the Serbian army. It was in the early hours of yesterday morning that long bursts of infantry fire, followed by artillery shell explosions, were heard near the village of Koshare, a few kilometres from our state border. Reliable sources from the combat zone told the newspaper “Zëri i Popullit” by telephone yesterday at midday that the fighting began after a considerable number of Serbian forces entered the village of Koshare. Upon their arrival there, the KLA’s rational forces managed to encircle the village. A bloody battle then began between the two sides. According to our source from the combat zone, at least 40 Serbian soldiers were killed, while 4 fighters of the Kosovo Liberation Army also remained on the battlefield. • The attack began yesterday in the early hours of the morning in the village of Koshare KLA fighters mine the route and put an enemy tank convoy out of action They remained an Apache helicopter logistics base PAGE 16 Albanian soldiers yesterday in Morinë, during a manoeuvre in the border area (REUTERS)

Kukës, an elderly Albanian woman with burned hands (REUTERS) Non-governmental organizations manage 90% of the aid and respond Since the Albanian Red Cross and the Red Cross Federation are also the main donors of Red Cross aid, they take an active part in distributing and monitoring the aid that arrives, exercising control all the way to its destination. Aid arriving for the Red Cross is thus received by Red Cross representatives, for example at Rinas or at the port of Durrës. Registration and distribution to its destination begin as soon as it arrives, avoiding bureaucracy and delays. This rules out the possibility of abusing it.” PAGE 7
