Peter, actually there was a prominent Kosovar Albanian who served as a Brigadier in the Croatian Army during that time--Agim Ceku. He is now the commander of the Kosovo Protection Corps; a sort of National Guard or Civil Defense force in Kosovo and the closest thing they have to an army. Other Albanians are known to have served in the Croatian Army during that time as well; not as separate elements, but as individual enlistees in regular Croatian units.

Croatia and Kosovo both had the common enemy of Serbia; plus Rugova--the Catholic President of Kosovo--and the influential Albanian Catholic Bishop Marko Sopi of Kosovo both had ties in predominantly Catholic Croatia Croatia; they at times used Croatian based radio stations to broadcast into Kosovo. And going back a little further, both Slovenia and Croatia used the 1989-90 Serb revocation of Kosovar autonomy and imposition of rule from Belgrade as part of their rationale for seceding from the former Yugoslavia. So there were some connections.

And troops under Ceku's command were responsible for many atrocities against Serb civilians -- of course, our Islamofascist cheerleaders will tell you that there's nothing wrong with that.
