Albanian-American Lobby Wants To Divide Macedonia By
2007

-Nedeljni Telegraf writes that the topics of
discussion included the formation of a federation of
Albanian Territories on the Balkans, which would
consist of Albania, Kosovo, parts of Macedonia and
parts of Greece.


According to the Serbian weekly Nedeljni Telegraf
("Sunday Telegraph"), last week US Albanian lobbyists
and American congressmen held a meeting where they
discussed the redrawing of the Balkan borders.

Reportedly the meeting was lead by the former US
Congressman Joseph DioGuardi, who is the president of
the Albanian American Civic League, a lobby group
advocating for a Greater Albania. The US congressmen
Tom Lantos, Benjamin Gillman and Joseph Biden were
present at this meeting.

Nedeljni Telegraf writes that the topics of discussion
included the formation of a federation of Albanian
Territories on the Balkans, which would consist of
Albania, Kosovo, parts of Macedonia and parts of
Greece. Moreover, a specific timelines was agreed
upon, where Kosovo would gain independent status by
2005, Macedonia would be federalized by 2007, and in
the meantime unrest will be instigated in northwest
Greece so that this area, which the Albanians call
Chemeria, would separate from Greece and join the
Albanian union. This whole "project" would be finished
by 2010.

According to Nedeljni Telegraf, Congressman Biden
pledged to use his influence to bring about a large
foreign military presence in Macedonia, which would
guarantee the unimpeded federalization of this Balkan
country. In the meantime, Macedonia would be pressured
to further decentralize its governance by transferring
more capacities to municipalities.
