Serbs top Albania, but see Enver Hoxha's pathetic threats towards them

Enver Hoxha's relations with the Yugoslav leadership have been among the most strange.

During the National Liberation War, Yugoslavia's Communist Party sent its representatives to Albania, and it is already known that they helped establish the PKP and to place Enver Hoxha at its helm.

These relations continued even after the war and extended to the economic sector.

But the purpose of The KCJ was to turn the Albanian economy into its dependence and eventually Albania into one of the republics of the Yugoslav federation.

The break-up of Albanian-Yugoslav relations was accompanied by arrests, murder and firing squads.

These relations no longer recognised improvement as Enver Hoxha eventually contacted the USSR and established close friendly contacts with Stalin.

After that Yugoslavia was declared an enemy of Albania.

But neighbouring countries also have territorial ties. If territorial divisions are not administered properly, there are problems.

In the summer of one of the worst years Yugoslavia decided to close the gates of Lake Ohrid, from which the Drin River is supplied. But the Albanian communist leadership's response was immediate.

“If Tito closes the gates of Ohrid for Drini, then I will drill a tunnel into the Qafathana and I will dry Ohrid”, Enver Hoxha has threatened.

This statement was not random.

Sources from archives suggest that a group of the best - known specialists to whom a study was asked was called.

This study was prepared in record time and presented to the dictator.

According to this study, if a tunnel was drilled into the bottom of Qafathana, it could completely dry Ohrid water. The water would be directed to the riverbed Shkumbin.

This threat was made known to the Belgrade government, and from that moment on Tito did not even think of ordering the closure of Ohrid's gates.
