[ALBSA-Info] Excellent Analysis from The Economist

[Kreshnik Bejko]

>This is the best analysis of the situation in Macedonia
>I've read to date. It is argued that a strong link exists
>between Kosova's unresolved status and the guerrila's in
>Macedonia. The Albanian nationalists seeing no clear
>prospect of self-determination in Kosova threaten destabilization, but they
>can't risk a NATO withdrawal and a return of the Jugoslav Army in Kosova so
>they logical choice is Macedonia having a only fraction of the Jugoslav
>firepower. I think this is a rather cunning move
>indicating a carefully devised strategy. Understandably
>the Western powers don't like to be pressured which would
>explain the vociferous condemnation of the guerrilla's action. It might 
>seem
>like a win-win situation for Albanians if they have the appropriate exit
>strategy.
