Faik Jashari Rejects Demaci's Claims
Malevolent Statements

by Lj.S.

Glas Javnosti, Belgrade, FR Yugoslavia, November 7,
2000

President of the Kosovo Democratic Initiative Faik
Jashari rejected in a conversation with Glas all the
claims made by the ethnic Albanian intellectual Adem
Demaci during his visit to Belgrade.

"Demaci made a baseless assertion that every single
ethnic Albanian supports the independence of Kosovo.
He 'forgot' that for decades more than a 100,000
ethnic Albanians have been living and working without
any problems in Serbia proper, as well as another
30,000 ethnic Albanians expelled from Kosmet after the
entry of the so-called peacekeeping forces, whose
arrival was strongly advocated by Albanian 'democrats'
including Demaci. His comments about the sad situation
of Serbs trapped in enclaves are cynical. When he
advocates the recognition of local elections conducted
on the ethnic basis he does not mention undemocratic
atmosphere in which those elections were conducted,"
says Jashari. He adds that Demaci came to Belgrade as
a free citizen, an ethnic Albanian citizen of the
country in which he lives and without fear used his
right to the freedom of speech.

"When will a Serb be allowed to freely travel and
express his opinion in Kosovo and Metohija?" asks
Jashari.
