FoNet - February 17, 2003

Skopje, 16 February: The HQ of the Albanian National Army ANA, AKSh in Albanian and its division Skenderbeg are based in Macedonia, while the main seat of the Front for National Albanian Liberation as received is in Albania with branches in Pristina, Skopje, Presevo, Ulcinj and Prevez, the deputy chairman as received of the Front for National Albanian Unification, Valdet Vardari, told Albanian media in Macedonia.

ANA will carry out its activities on territories inhabited by Albanians outside Albania and Kosovo-Metohija, Vardari announced. He said that ANA was not active in Kosovo-Metohija because the Kosovo Protection Corps exist there as does the Albanian Army in Albania.

"Conditions for the beginning of a new war for Albanian territories exist since the Albanians achieved nothing more in the past three wars than what they had in 1990," Vardari said.

He announced a war "against the Serbo-Montenegrin conquerors who are holding in occupation, slavery and colonization the Albanian land in Kosovo and ethnic Albania".
