The self-proclaimed Albanian National Army, the abbreviation of which is AKSH in the Albanian language, has sent letters to officials of the UNMIK (UN Mission in Kosovo) and Albanian staffers ordering them to leave Kosovo and cease working in that mission, the local media in Pristina reported on Tuesday.
Rossin was quoted by the local 'Zeri' news paper as saying that similar threats had been issued also previously.
I, however, believe that those threats will not divert the attention of Kosovo citizens, UNMIK or the international community away from the right path towards Kosovo's future, the US diplomat added.
The Zeri daily reported that the police had refuted to confirm whether the UNMIK had received a threatening letter from the AKSH army.
"The AKSH chief staff issues an order to the UN Mission in Kosovo, the UNMIK police and civilian Albanian structures to leave their jobs within the shortest possible time, and Albanians, who receive instructions from the Serbian secret service, should also leave our homeland of Kosovo," read letters which were left on UNMIK cars in Pristina.
The commander of the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR), Yves de Kermabon, said that there were no organised terrorist groups in Kosovo but that there were organised criminal groups which the police should tackle.
A former UN Civilian Administrator in Kosovo, Michael Steiner, labelled the said AKSH army as a terrorist organisation.
