This surprises me a lot. I personally, do not see anything in there that even deserves our attention, let us not even talk of consderation. All it seems to be is a craftely manipulated document offering the precious "face saving" characteristics that the "great powers" so cherish, yet offering absolutely nothing that would even come close to satisfying the just demands of the Albanian nation. I am not going to undertake a point by point discussion of the agreement, which might be called for when possesing a negative conviction of it. However, I am deeply convinced that all it calls for is the destruction of the Albanian justified claim over Kosova. Agreements of this kind, merit no consideration.
