Sheer insanity. Want another war with Greece and Macedonia on the same side as the Serbs? Keep agitating.
Exactly! On all points.
Here we go. Give an inch, now they want everything else. I think Albanians are overplaying their greedy hand at this point. And if they continue, somehow, I have a feeling Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Greece's combined military and political strength would put a serious dent in the greater (oh, sorry, "Natural") Albania dreams.
Al....I sure you probably already know, Greece has it's own issues with the Albanians. I wrote a security assessment in March 2001 about info that I had collected...as follows: (time context in 2001)
"1. LAC - (Ushtria Clirimtare E Camera) – Also referred to as the CLA. They are confirmed to be on the border or the northern part of Greece and Western Macedonia close to Bitola. They are an Albanian American Group, who reportedly (unconfirmed) have roots with the Luchessi crime family that is either based or have a large organization in Staten Island, New York. In March 2001, three members was rumored to have departed Staten Island with $500,000 and bound for Macedonia. The alleged smuggling route goes from the US to Naples, Italy, to Bari and Brindisi, Italy. Then the “goods”, (weapons, drugs, money, etc…) go to Durres, Albania or to Bar, Montenegro. There may be other ports that are not known by this writer."
***This area of Greece by the way corresponds to the Greater Albania scheme of the original concept and what they consider part of the Greater Albania.
