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.
