 In spite of the fact that I addressed some of my letters to the international decision maker's institutions , to Albanian politician leaders, former UN Administrators in Kosova , to Mr. Kouchner and Haekerup as well as to the all information media, asking them to influence on the Serbian authorities for the release of Albanian innocent hostages , who
 are held still in Serbian prisons unjustly or by other words they keep living their prison life in concentration camps of Serbia.

 I asked the Albanian political factors especially that their engagement for the release of hostages to be with collective insistences of the people, with different protest in order to make a pressure to the International Community that they might raise the issue for the release of the Albanian hostages through legal and ordinary international proceedings!

 I called up to remind the Albanian politicians, that during the Air Strikes Campaign , one of the five conditions for the suspension of air strikes against Serbia was exactly the release of innocent hostages.

 The Albanian politician factor shouldn't give in for this kind of condition and they should imprint this condition in their mind and point them out during their diplomatic talks with NATO diplomats, International community and UNO!

 I called up with the voice of war hostages, with the voice of a person sentenced with 14 years imprisonment in order to excite the peoples insistence and the insistence of all Albanian political factor, because they have their lawful ethical right , national right and international right, in order to avoid legitimating by plans of foreigners and by Serbian appetites; that our people, Albanian political factor , do not allow that we being hostages remain or be used as a compromise for agreements and bargaining of foreigner's plans and of the Serbs as well to be reached, in order hide the tragedy and the crime which were committed in the Dubrava Prison against Albanian prisoners!

 Recently , I found out that, that the engagements about the fate of our release are performed in an individual way and this is for me an unacceptable form, irritated and inappropriate!

 In spite of the fact that some individuals who for the good purpose try to or have tried to apply such forms in order to find an adequate solution for the release of the Albanian hostages, this seems to me inferior way!

 Exactly due to lack of above mentioned political insistence, the possible individual way is being applied and it seems that its not present and its not applied the collective form in order to raise in the serious way the issue of hostages!

 I called up proudly in order to tell to World and Albanian opinion who are the hostages in the Serbian prisons!

 Therefore when our sense of shame is full of injuries from savage tortures many Albanians became crippled, many of them got lethal disease. I wont understand the form of exchange of the release or buying of freedom for the Albanian hostages in a an endless game instead that all international and local institutions to file a suit against Serbian state for genocide and State's terrorism applied against Albanian hostages!!!
