The Kosova became 1913 a part of Serbia (after the balkanian war of 1908/ 
1909, I think). Many ethnic Albanians of Kosovo have 1913 hoped, that the  
Kosovo became a part of Albania.

Yugoslavia became 1941 (25.03.) a confederate of the Axis powers. After a  
putsch of britain-orientated military groups against this pro Axis orien-  
tated government in the same year (5.04.) and the insertion of an military  
regime, who became a ally of Stalin (6.4.), Germany tried to support the  
pro Axis orientated groups with their occupation (see Legion Condor and  
the german support of Spain 1936-39).

>From the division of the albanian population in Albanians with his own

of the national myth of Albania to inserte a Greater Albania who comprise  
all ethnic Albanians in *one* state. This myth is contrary to the serbian  
national myth to inserte a Greater Serbia who comprise all ethnic Serbs in  
*one* state. Both ideologies apply progroms and murdering.

This show, that the Albanians are historical *not* victims. The dream of a  
Greater Albania is still alive at the base of the KLA: this army fight not  
only for a free Kosovo, but also to inserte a Greater Albania who comprise  
all ethnic Albanians of Albania, Kosovo, Greek, Macedonia and Serbia in  
*one* state. Yesterday the KLA have inserted his own albanian government,  
who should speak alone for all ethnic Albanians, who live outside of the  
Albanian borders. The day before this army have proclaimed a total mobili-  
zation of all Albanians between 18 and 60 years to fight with the KLA a-  
gainst the serbian army; every male between 18 and 60 years who doesn't  
sign in to fight with the KLA should after the 30th april 1999 in all re-  
fugeescamps be executed by KLA-troops.
