Mikeo: The Kosovo war changed the clock of Albanians, we went through the knife blade, but we were ready

Asked that when he realized, that Kosovo's Freedom is coming, Majko has stepped in on how the prime minister of the time, from the official channels, such a thing was made clear several days before the Kumanovo Agreement. This was after the Albanian secret service channels, which Majko sails from 1 to 10 on mark 8, had shown Milosevic's wife was sick and that things in the dictator's presidency were not going well.

Our service with partner services informed us that Milosevic's wife was ill. This had a big impact on the redundancy of the operation, the Patkoi, who was walking with its refugee waves, which you know much better than I am, because then you were 18 years old, aimed at ridding Kosovo Albanians of Serbian police and military -- a plan by Slobodan Milosevic to destabilise Albania and the Balkan region as well. So balance in the dictatorship's internal relationship in Belgrade affected and it was seen that things were not moving in the right direction. By that time the pace of remaining Yugoslavia has been very severe. Mako says.

We should be Albania doing the job best. We were in front of the eyes of a Europe that was going on its own in an era of integration. Moreover, it had stood before itself as prime minister, a Europe which was used to seeing Belgrade as part of mechanising its policies and not as an anti-European story. Let's not forget that the Serbian Army in two world wars had been on the side of the victors. So there were many dilemmas. What was happening was unimaginable. So after 25 years it's hard to find mistakes in what we all did together. Mako's cut.

Former Albanian Prime Minister Pandeli Majko, then only 31, shows that the Albanian Army was as prepared for war with Serbia as it itself declared during inspections in the north during the war?

Don't forget that man for 25 years is bothphisticated and taught and given answers to the sofiitated, but I want to be straight with your honorable Radio, no. We've had a lot of dilemmas and we need to be honest that even Western projection for the Kosovo war has been not very predictable. The scenario that Belgrade was offering was very sophisticated. We were unprepared, west and what was planned was for all the countries neighbouring Kosovo to get into political chaos. Montenegro fell short, although part of Yugoslavia opened the corridor for Albania in Shkodra, Macedonia did not do the task, and here my reaction worked, today I would say not very diplomatic, but that it did. Mikeo is impressed, even showing his grief with Gligorov. We just went through the blade, but we were ready. We were ready. The nation didn't take any chances, and we meant it.

Majko shows that in 19999, when official Skopje blocked the border, blocking for a week the Kosovo Albanian escort towards Albania, it has been forced to threaten Macedonia directly. In an interview of time, he had even declared that in the midst of his choice to meet Milosevic or Gligorov, the latter did not want to see him.

“Open the border or tell Albanians to rise. I wasn't very diplomatic in this decision, but we had a very tough debate with the Skopje-era government and we were forced to open the borders even with Macedonia, and within a day they could have crossed the border towards the 30-35 thousand-strong Korca. It was the situation at first when the government of Macedonia blocked all refugees on the border between Kosovo and about a week or 10 days, it became a real horror. And call it that we jumped and jumped right. After several days, Greece's foreign minister, who became interlocutor, Mr. Papandreou, along with Macedonia's Foreign Minister and the Macedonian side's representative, apologised formally for what happened at the border. ” he says.

Majko has also been asked for Kosovo's political and military leader, currently held at The Hague, the Special Court. He is convinced of their purity and innocence.

Albanians' ballet technologies in peace do not light up. Serbs are known for these tributes. These were passed by other top commanders, Haradinaj, Limaj... Today Thaci, Krasniqi, Veselini, the other Selimi. So this is the painful part, which reminds us that we are a small nation and that it often has to be paid something that the great nations do not pass. Beyond the discussions of what one or the other has done after Kosovo's liberation, the truth in all this story is that this is the attempt of today's Belgrade, that all of this glorious story of the Albanian nation, where they turned out to be losers, as if it is not so glorious and pure. This Serbian methodology is known by the world. There's nothing else here. The Kosovo war changed the clock of Albanians, it's the cleanest and most beautiful thing we can show our children. Mako says.

The case of the fallen is the message for 25 years of Liberty herself. Mako says at the end of the interview.
