Albanian National Army preparing for war?
Fighters of the so-called Albanian National Army labeled by the UN as a terrorist organization have launched preparations for mass disorders in northern Kosovo in case the province proclaims independence.

The report was posted on Balkaninside web site with a reference to ANA leader Arberi. According to him, the ANA focuses on Mitrovitsa mostly inhabited by Serbs.

"Our concern is that Serbs can resort to violence against the Albanian population when Pristina proclaims independence. We should lend a helping hand to our compatriots," Arberi said.

"During ethnic disorders in Kosovo in March 2004, the KFOR under NATO command preferred to stay in barracks when armed Albanians and Serbs collided," he added, RIA Novosti reports.
