Macedonia/US: NAAC denies reports of Macedonian media
Representatives of the New York-based National Albanian American Council (NAAC) denied Monday the reports of Macedonian media saying that Albanian Diaspora in the United States will stage a Pan-Albanian congress in Macedonia this summer.
In an interview with Pristina’s daily Koha Ditore, the NAAC Trustee Harry Bajraktari said the information was not true because the Council did not discuss this issue during its last session. The Council discussed funds raising to support the Democrats’ candidate for president, John Kerry.
Bajraktari said a number of high-ranking representatives of former US president Bill Clinton’s administration, including Wesley Clark, Richard Holbrooke and Madeleine Albright, attended the session of NAAC.
Stefan Koci, member of the NAAC Managerial Board, told Pristina’s daily Koha Ditore that $500.000 had been raised over night for Kerry’s election campaign.
“The Council had neither discussed staging of Pan-Albanian congress nor alleged gathering of all Albanian's in the Balkans,” Koci said.
Representatives of 20 Albanian organizations and a number of Albanian businessmen in the United States attended the meeting of the National Albanian American Council, held in Sheraton New York Hotel.
I will recover my stolen Mercedes if I have to attend every Albanian Congress from now until Domesday!
Oh boy...

Of course, they will be meeting only with the 10% of Albanians that are Christian. /sarcasm
I think you'll get confused and give up. There are rather a a *few* stolen Mercedes in Albania.:)
