ENGEL EXPRESSES OUTRAGE AT APPALLING KOSOVA ADS
 
Washington, D.C.-Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY) criticized a campaign by  the 
American Council for Kosovo ’s statements linking Kosova’s citizens to 
jihadi terrorists. 
 
“The American Council for Kosovo is spreading utter lies that slander the 
people of Kosova," said Congressman Engel, a   Senior Member of the House  
International Relations  Subcommittee on Europe.  "This is a bigoted, hate-filled 
campaign which targets Kosovars on the basis of religion.  It is un-American and 
must end."  

Engel continued, “I know the people of Kosova. They are secular, western in 
orientation, and the most pro-American people in the world. Using words like 
jihad and terrorist with respect to the Kosovar leadership or people is 
ridiculous and offensive.” Engel called on Venable and Global Strategic Communications 
Group to end “their campaign of hate speech against good, honest Kosovars” 
and drop the Serbian National Council of Kosovo and Metohija as their client.
