An Englishman born in Australia is not an American. A German born in Switzerland is not an Austrian. A Spaniard born in Tenerife is not a Mexican.

Yet, we have to accept that an Albanian born in Macedonia is Albania's national figure :-)

At least we do not have problem with the nationality of Osama Bin Laden who set shop in Albania.

Give it up DTA. Mother Teresa says she's Albanian. She speaks Albanian. The name she was born with (Bojaxhiu) is Albanian. According to Mother Teresa's brother, their father was murdered by Serbs because of his involvement in Albanian nationalist activities:

`The suffering of our family started when the Yugoslavs and Albanians were fighting for Kosova and the other provinces of Albania in which was the City of Skopje. Our father ... was very active in politics and the Albanian National question. He tried very hard to obtain the national rights of Albanians, with all his heart he tried to keep the Albanian territories in Yugoslavia together with Albania. When Yugoslavia took over the territories the family was persecuted and my father poisoned.'
