Albanian Military: Putin's secret army operates north of Kosovo

In a show at “Ora News”, he said that behind every event in the Balkans stand Serbs, and the goal is to exchange territories between Kosovo and Serbia.

“Wagner Group is a force of about 5-6 thousand soldiers. But Western analysts consider Putin's secret army. Elite formation, but there have been great losses in Syria. It's definitely about the government. By 2014-2016 they were paid by the Russian Ministry of Defence, after $1193m, the expenses stopped. Later, the group entered agreements with Bashar Assad, who would receive profits from the sale of oil”, Demaj said.

While adding that only one of them is paid by Russian oligarchs abroad.

There are “members operating in Mitrovica. These are not Russians and are headed by one of the former commanders of Arkan. Second, we have a link between Serbian secret services and gendarmerie. During the time of the election of Talat Xhaferri in Macedonia, two people have been from Serbian services”, former Albanian Defence Minister Dritan Demaj said further.

He did not rule out the possibility of this group reaching Tirana as well.

Of course! But they're identified. The part of the North was not by accident under control of these elements. Behind all these scenarios is the scenario of exchanging territories that for me is essentially anti-Albanian”, he stressed.

While prominent Albanian diplomat Agim Nesho says that following Marko Djuriqi's arrest there is a message, while along with Kosovo's special forces there were EULEX's.

The Djuriqi visa was provocation. The first violated the rules of a sovereign country and the second was person non grata, sometimes, while other ministers, including the prime minister, have been granted permission. There are two main points negotiating, association and demarcation. Djuric wanted to provoke the gathering of all Serbian representatives to make the case of demarcation a constitutional process that cannot be done unilaterally. As the media had mentioned B92, along with Kosovo special troops, there were EULEX forces. There was a message to be delivered behind. Europe requires a balance because Serbs themselves to justify Kosovo's loss that they themselves do not accept. I think there can be no action without co-ordination”, Nesho said.

Historian Olsti Jazexhi says the arrest of Marko Djuric in Mitrovica is orchestrated by presidents Aleksandar Vuciq and Hashim Thaci prior to the big declaration.

He says Djuric is internationally sponsored and is Soros's man in Serbia.

“Many think that this is some scenario that Vuciqi and Thaci have played by straining the situation and giving points both of them prior to the big proclamation, and that big announcement is that Serbia will recognise Kosovo and that could come in exchange for territories. Many analysts think Djuriqi's arrest was a Vuciki show, claiming Albanians are savage”, Jazexhi said.

He says the truth of Monday's event is still unknown.

“B92 shows that at the Mitrovica meeting there was Nikola Selekovic, who is Vuciqi's secretary and was not touched by hand. Vuciq from Serbian nationalist circles is seen as a traitor. He's Soros' friend. Djuric is an Israelite of origin. He was a soloist. He was a member of enough. Djuric is seen by Western diplomats in Belgrade as their man because they have promoted Mitrovica Serbs to him as traitors. The idea of many Kosovo Serbs is that Serbia is selling us”, Jazexhi said.
