BRUSSELS - Members of the terrorist organization which calls itself the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), and which urges the creation of some kind of greater Albania, are attacking Serbs, Montenegrins and Romanies, but also all ethnic Albanians who back a multiethnic Kosovo and Metohija within Yugoslavia, the Brussels press has said adding that 200 ethnic Albanians have been killed since the arrival of the peacekeeping force.
"Since NATO and the so-called KLA have taken control over Kosovo and Metohoja, more than 150,000 ethnic Albanians have left this region and about 200 have been killed," Belgian weekly Solider said quoting members of the pro-Yugoslav party Democratic Alternative for Kosovo (DAK), which rallies the representatives of Kosovo Albanians and other ethnic communities. DAK claims that the lives of its members are in danger and are constantly targeted by the so-called KLA.
DAK member Fatmir Sheholi, who was born in Podujevo, set out that "it is not true that ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija did not have any rights."
"I am an ethnic Albanian. I obtained my college degree in the Albanian language," he said adding that, prior to the NATO intervention, the Kosovo Albanians had 65 papers and magazines in their own language, while there was only one daily in Serbian.
"Members of the so-called KLA killed my father two years ago saying that they did that because he was a traitor since he supported Yugosalvia, rather than the KLA. My father believed that all nations should live in Kosovo and Metohija under equal conditions," Sheholi said.
