Thaci accused him of sheltering Arqira, Berisha: Great woe to clean faces with Belgrade kitchen remains

The first “is KLA. In 1992, when I became president of this country, tens of hundreds of KLA fighters have been trained in Albania, all under the auspices and umbrella of the Government of Kosovo, President Ibrahim Rugova and Prime Minister Bujar Bukoshi, who had defence ministers, chief secret service. Among the others, of those I have met, is documented, even Commander Adam Yasar, at the time he was not a legend, as is today”, Berisha has said in the interview. RTV Dukagjin.

Albania's former president has said that only Zahir Pajaziti had been arrested because he had not notified authorities of taking up arms, but was released very quickly, following talks with Kosovo Government.

So they're armed, trained in Albania, which posed a problem. Second, during all those years, all those who have wanted to take action against Serbs in Kosovo have been helped, have been forwarded to the border. A single case has been the case of Zahir Pajazit, who without announcing anyone had taken a sack of guns and captured border guards in Hasa, stopped, arrested him and asked the Kosovo government and authorities say he is released and released. No judicial process exists against any KLA fighter on Albania's territory”, Berisha said, records Telegrafi.

Asked whether Adem Jashar had been arrested, Berisha says he is an fiction.

Absolutely not ever, ever. It's all fiction of those arrested for other motives”.

Berisha responding to the question of whether Hashim Thaci was arrested, he said no one from Kosovo has been arrested for liberation activities.

I don't have that in mind. See, for one thing I assure you, no Kosovo Albanian in this country has ever been arrested and can not be arrested for KLA activities, for Kosovo liberation activities, that is never. For others, if. You go to discotheque to guess, it's not the case, but I'm looking at it as an example, and you do other fists, there's order to go, but for political activity no one ever gets”.

MP The DP did not deny meeting with Bulatovic in 1993, but has said they did not seek facilities for the oil embargo.

No, he didn't ask. No, they didn't ask absolutely, so they came scared. To tell the truth now, more came for a good neighborhood, but now I don't get into it because I waited for them as a master. But they, no, they did not ask for oil”, Berisha said, adding that the living witness is Milo [Gjukanovic].

No, they didn't ask for oil... absolutely, never. It's Milo alive now that he knows where the Bullatoviki is. They didn't ask, they came with Milo, they were both together, but they didn't ask for oil. And they did not ask for it. We've got a tank that's thrown into Shkodra Lake, destroyed the smugglers, and that's all legend. They are in the UN, if Albania violated the embargo, voluntarily, Albania was imposed under sanctions, but Albania has fought with efficiency against smuggling and respect for embargo, zero smuggling has no world country”.

Meeting with the Arkin and his arrival in Albania, Berisha considered the kitchen slander of Serbian-Albanian secret services.

“I've never held a meeting with any Serb, ever, except international meetings. This is the truth”.

“This is just a fiction of the kitchen of Serbian-Albanian secret services that co-operate together. Arkan take refuge! But why take refuge in Arkan? Arkan killed and waited in Kosovo, why, how would Arkan be accommodated?”

As for Thaci's comment on “the deployment of Arkan”, Berisha said that “should be very naive and think he could seek refuge in Albania”.

“Now, sir, I'm gonna talk and I'm gonna shut this thing down, but never. Never. I've heard this slander for the first time, it could have been five to six years, which was told to someone, and I've been left, never could have come. He was the bloodiest man in Kosovo, and, like, who can... You must be very naive and think he could seek refuge in Albania or shelter in Albania”.

In this interview for RTV Dukagjin, Berisha says he has nothing personal with Thaci, even gives him no advice without asking.

“S first Sali Berisha has not given advice to anyone, that I give advice to those who ask, who asks for advice. Sali Berisha has filed charges. What I've published is denouncing. The councils are for Mr Mustafa, who came to the meeting and I discussed with a lot of concern about the situation of Albanians in the Valley. We discussed. I told him that in September I will take the initiative to have a voice in Albania's Valley budget. I hope that even Kosovo gets one, that the two governments met and they paid 50 thousand euros. They broke, they gave 50 grand for Presevo, which was ridiculous. And the other parts, of course, are all denouncing and having nothing to do with counsel”, says Berisha, while the other charges are referred to as remains in Belgrade's kitchen.

“S second, as far as all of these are concerned, there is no greater woe than trying to clean your face with Belgrade's kitchen remains, this is the only answer I have”, former Prime Minister Berisha further declared.
