Novosti: Radical groups get ready for insurgency in southern Serbia

Pristina - Ethnic Albanian
radical groups are getting ready for a new "17 March" but this time the unrest
will take place in southern Serbia not in Kosovo, Belgrade's daily Vecernje
Novosti says.
The same sources say the leaders of the so-called Association of Veterans of the
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the Albanian National Army (ANA) have already
worked out a plan on "Awakening of the Presevo Valley".
In order to put the plan in motion, the KLA and ANA veterans have boosted the
firepower and also mobilized their compatriots. Furthermore, the ongoing
training in terrorist camps in Kosovo nears completion.
The radical Albanians will call for support from the former members of
dismantled Liberation Army of Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac (UCPMB) in the
"new war" in southern Serbia. The former UCPMB members will take advantage of
the new conflict to secure an ultimate solution to their status in Serbia, which
will be only foreplay in the great finals - proclamation of Kosovo's
independence.
"Even the foreign diplomats are well aware of this bloody scenario. They are
facing a dilemma on how Serbia can respond to attacks by ethnic Albanian
gunmen," Vecernje Novosti says.
The Serbia-Montenegro's top military officials have been also informed about the
plan, and the security forces in the region have been put to highest state of
alert, the paper says.
Military analysts reckon that ethnic Albanian groups stationed in southern
Serbia possess 600.000 to 900.000 pieces of weapons including large quantity of
explosives and military equipment.
The $300 million worth of weapons have been procured by the Albanian Mafia which
has close ties with IRA, ETA and al-Qaeda terror cells in Bosnia, Turkey and
other Islamic countries. The paper claims that members of the Kosovo Protection
Corps (KPC) and the so-called Albanian National Army (ANA) forged ahead with
training in inaccessible regions of Drenica, Kamenica, Podujevo and Bajgora
Mountain near Mitrovica.
