Joseph DioGuardi's Congressional Records - The work of the Albanian American Civic League for Kosova and the Albanian national cause since 1989 is well documented on this web site (please see the AACL ten-year history). But what is not so well known are the many Congressional Resolutions, statements, letters, and hearings that were sponsored and promoted by Congressman Joe DioGuardi from 1985 to 1988 to publicize the terrible plight of the Albanian people of Kosova and to expose the terror imposed on them by Slobodan Milosevic. Here is the first installment of this important part of the foundation on which the independent State of Kosova is being built today.

Albanians a People Undone - This article, featured in the February 2000 issue of National Geographic,  discusses the history and culture of the Albanian people in the Balkans and is accompanied by a beautiful photographic layout.
