     ALBANIAN EXTREMISTS THREATEN TO TAKE ACTION IN GREECE
     Skopje, 30 May 2001 (17:20 UTC+2)

     A political representative of the so-called National
     Liberation Army (NLA), who lives in Switzerland stated
     to the Australian state radio yesterday evening, local
     time, that armed Albanians will take action in
     northwestern Greece as well.

     The FYROM state news agency "MIA" reports, based on a
     correspondence from Sydney, that the political
     representative of NLA, under the name Ahmeti, has
     maintained that in the specific Greek region, he
     called "Chameria", live about one million Albanians
     and stated that the members of the so-called
     "Liberation Army of Chameria", (UCC), which has
     already been created, are perfectly trained and soon
     will be called to defend their rights.

     The Albanians from every Albanian country in the
     Balkans must enjoy their rights and this is our
     demand, stated Ahmeti, pointing out that the war in
     FYROM will end only when the demands set by NLA will
     be met.

     He concluded that NLA will defend the rights of the
     Albanians in Greece as it defends the rights of the
     Albanians in FYROM which are being violated.

     It should be noted that the Skopje magazine "Zum" had
     published an article last week mentioning that a
     detailed plan for the creation of the Liberation Army
     of Chameria had been drawn up in Switzerland since
     early this year.

     The magazine, citing sources close to the FYROM secret
     services, had written that initially Albanian
     organizations will be founded in Greece and then an
     armed struggle will get underway for the annexation of
     part of the Greek territory to the so-called "Greater
     Albania". The UCC will also turn against the ethnic
     Greek minority in southern Albania, mainly targeting
     Omonia organization members.

     FYROM's state-run news agency in another news report
     mentions that the Albanian rebels' plan concerning
     Greece is in a way confirmed by the fact that on April
     21 journalists had maintained that about a week
     earlier the Greek authorities had confiscated a truck
     full of weapons marked with UCK initials at the
     Greek-FYROM borders. However, the Greek authorities
     had denied the information.

     The FYROM news agency also points out that in many
     non-Albanian speaking web sites on the Internet there
     are messages that lead to the conclusion that the
     creation of UCC is being prepared. Those messages many
     times end with the phrase "Greece is the next country
     from which we will take back our land".
