I Was Albright's First Love: Serb
REUTERS in Nicosia
US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, fleeing Nazi persecution as a
small child during World War II, was reportedly sheltered by a Serbian
family in Yugoslavia.
Ljutko Popic, a Serb from the village of Vrinjetska Banja who produced
photographs said to be of the Czech-born Ms Albright as a child, told his
story to a visiting Greek-Cypriot journalist last week.
An article in To Periodiko yesterday said Mr Popic claimed he was Ms
Albright's "first love" and said he could not understand why US planes were
now bombing his village.
The story was accompanied by old black and white photographs, one of which
shows a small boy and a plump little girl with their arms around each
other.
The pictures were said to have been taken in 1939.
Mr Popic said he was the boy in the picture and the girl was Ms Albright at
age four.
He claimed Ms Albright's Jewish-Czech family took refuge in his village and
stayed at his home.
He had sent a letter asking her to halt the air strikes but had not
received a reply. The report said Vrinjetska Banja was hit in the Nato
bombing raids.
In response, the article says, villagers scrawled a message on an
unexploded Nato bomb saying: "Thank you, Ms Albright, for the presents you
send us in return for our hospitality."
