Kosovar guerrilla leaders behind the current "Tanusevci adventure," dpa

[15] ALBANIA CALLS DECISION 'HASTY'
Albanian Foreign Minister Paskal Milo said in Tirana on 9 March that his 
government condemns the Tanusevci gunmen's "extremist acts because they are 
against the [real interests of the ethnic] Albanians and multiethnic 
existence in Macedonia," dpa reported. Milo stressed, however, that "NATO 
has enough forces in the region to maintain peace and stability on 
Macedonia's border" and does not need Serbian forces to help. "I think that 
this is a hasty and [poorly thought out] decision taken [in response to] the 
urgency of the situation," Milo said. He warned that admitting Serbian 
forces to the zone could promote instability in the region. PM

[20] MACEDONIAN ALBANIAN LEADER BLASTS VIOLENCE
Arben Xhaferi, whose Democratic Party of the Albanians (PDSH) participates 
in the government, said in Skopje on 9 March that "in urban parts of 
Macedonia, people are [aware of the fighting] but believe that the conflict 
will not escalate," AP reported. He added that some unnamed "political 
forces" based far from the urban centers are engaging in violence. He 
stressed that "we have to join all our efforts to make the Balkans 
democratic." Xhaferi appealed to Macedonian troops to refrain from "radical 
actions," adding that such moves will only encourage "extremist elements to 
continue their actions." PM
