Albanian Group Wants Slav Troops out of Kosovo

PRISTINA, Aug 17, 2001 -- (Agence France Presse) The
Albanian National Army (ANA), a rebel group opposed to
the Macedonian peace accord, on Thursday demanded the
pullout of troops from Slavic countries serving in the
NATO-led Kosovo force.

"The ANA demands that KFOR withdraw its Slavic
soldiers from the zones where there are ANA units, in
particular Ukrainians," said a statement sent to AFP
signed by ANA leaders Alban Berisha and general
Shqiponja e Sharrit I.

"ANA considers that KFOR soldiers from Slavic
countries intentionally provoke these units," it said.

The ethnic Albanian rebels are worried about Ukrainian
arms deals with Macedonia and maintain that many
Ukrainian mercenaries are fighting in the ranks of the
Macedonian army.

ANA, a little-known rebel group fighting to create a
Greater Albania in the Balkans, on Tuesday rejected a
peace accord signed in Skopje to end the ethnic
Albanian insurgency.

It claims to have bases in Kosovo, Macedonia,
Montenegro, Albania proper and Greece from which it
plans to launch attacks as part of its campaign.

ANA claimed responsibility for the murder of two
Serbian policeman in southern Serbia earlier this
month and the deaths of 18 Macedonian soldiers in
attacks this month. ((c) 2001 Agence France Presse)
