"Reunification" of all Albanian lands
"necessity" - Albanian paper

[Commentary by Mona Agrigoro: "Slav and Greek Deceptions Are Being Refuted"]
In an interview with Swiss daily Neue Zurcher Zeitung, Macedonia's Slav Foreign
Minister Antonio Milosovski said Macedonia had "resolved the Albanian question,"
whereas with the Oher [Ohrid] Accord it had found a model of integration "from
which other multinational states could learn."
This cynical statement by a minister who sits at the head of a system that
represses the colonized Albanian population clearly shows what an anti-Albanian
strategy means.
Milosovski invented a false status for the Albanian population, which is
considered a "minority" in this artificial colonialist state, shifting the
stress from its true nature to a deceptive conception of it that justifies the
rule of the Slav Macedonians over the Albanian population under the guise of its
multinational nature.
History has shown that this sinister conception spells only death, repression,
and state terrorism, which the Albanian population will never be made to accept,
with the exception of some collaborationists who are awarded political positions
in order the serve the Slav Macedonians, just as has happened in the past. The
Front for the National Unification of Albanians [FBKSh] considers the Oher
Accord a disaccord destined to failure. Life is showing with every passing day
the failure of this accord, as is borne out by the following facts:
"The Oher Accord stipulated that one of the highest functions of the FYROM - the
president, the Assembly speaker, or the prime minister - should go to the
Albanians. This was not done. The Oher Accord also spoke about an amnesty for
the fighters of the Kosova [Kosovo] Liberation Army [UCK in Albanian, KLA in
English]. This was not done either. On the contrary, Macedonia's prisons today
are full of former UCK fighters who were not persuaded to profess their loyalty
to the colonial regime of the Macedonian Slavs.
Hence, the attempt to consider the Oher Accord "a model for other multinational
states" is another attempt to deceive the international community. Ever since it
came into force, this accord has been implemented only to the extent it suits
the interests of the political parties of Macedonia's Slavs, as it is an accord
geared to the establishment of a coalition between the Slav occupiers and the
Albanian-speaking collaborationists, an accord from which the latter have
received only political positions and financial benefits, not state power. Just
as in the past, state power in Macedonia is in the hands of the colonizers of
over 16,000 square kilometres of Albanian land. The Albanian question is a
question of colonial occupation, which is still unresolved due to the occupation
and colonization of Albanian territories by the Serbs, Macedonian Slavs, Greeks,
and Montenegrins ever since Kosova, the Vardar Valley (now under Macedonia), the
Presheve [Presevo] Valley (now under Serbia), the Northern Highlands (now under
Montenegro), and Cameria (now under Greece) were invaded by Serbia and Greece in
1912.
It must also be stressed that the Macedonian state, in its essence, is an
artificial colonial state that did not exist before 1947 and that was formed
only to repartition (for the second time, following the partitioning in 1913)
the territories of natural Albania.
Milosovski is just as ludicrous when he tries to separate the question of the
Albanians of Kosova from that of the Albanians of Macedonia. There is no
question of the Albanians of Macedonia, or the Albanians of Serbia, or the
Albanians of Northern Highlands, or the Albanians of Greece, or the Albanians of
Montenegro! There is only the question of the Albanians, as an indivisible
nation whose liberation and reunification into a national Albanian state in the
Balkans has become a necessity of the time if ever we want the Balkans to lose
once for all time its powder keg appellation and if ever we want to have peace,
security, and stability in Europe, which can be achieved only with the
establishment of ethnic states, such as ethnic Albania, ethnic Bulgaria, ethnic
Greece, and - why not? - ethnic Serbia.
