MakFax (Macedonia) October 7, 2004 Albanian American Civic League collects signatures for independence of Kosovo [See: http://www.aacl.com/indexmain.html] Albanian American Civic League (AACL) kicked off on Thursday a campaign of collecting signatures for support of Kosovo's independence. The campaign will be organized in Albania, Macedonia and Kosovo. AACL was founded by the former US congressman Joseph DioGuardi and a board of Albanian Americans in 1989 as the only registered lobby in Washington, DC, representing the concerns and interests of Albanian people. The campaign in Macedonia will be led by Xhelil Bajrami and Arben Lala. They set up an Organization Board comprised of nine people. Citizens could express their support to the initiative by signing the petition or on the AACL's website on the Internet. The campaign will last till 31 October. Collected signatures will be sent to the League's representatives in US, who will hand over the petitions to the US President George Bush. The Civic League reckons that the independence of Kosovo will provide stability in the region. Serbian News Network - SNN [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antic.org/
