These rallies
were condemned in the press. We cannot permit a formal fact finding trip to come to
Yugoslavia. But all Members of Congress are welcome. You can come but not to meddle in our
internal affairs.

Serbs are
trying to bring Kosovo under their complete
|
domination and are creating a constitutional crisis. The basic premise
of government depends on the mutual trust of its people. How can we create a situation
where Albanians feel they have equal opportunity and can trust Serbs?
|
You should know that Albanians are coming to Yugoslavia,
|
not leaving to go to Albania.
|
Albanians are
being forced to violence. There is clearly
|
an attempt by Serbs to take away provincial status and to treat them
as second class citizens.
|
Can you give
me a single example of beatings of Albanians
|
by Serbs in Kosovo? We must protect Serbs in Kosovo.
|
Of course
your country has a right to protect all of its
|
citizens, even Serbs in Kosovo. But the issue is how to help you to
create mutual trust and respect between Albanians and Serbs.
AMB: (Pointing to
DioGuardi) You are totally one-sided!
JOE: If I were one-sided, we would not have included Helen Bentley in
our hearing on the ethnic Albanian issue and heard from her in spite of
protest against her remarks which some believe are misstatement's of fact and history.
