13 ALBANIAN POLITICIANS STILL IN CUSTODY

( Editorial: --> 2505 ) PRISTINA, Sept 23 (Hina) - Thirteen delegates of Albanian political parties from Kosovo are still held imprisoned by the Kosovo Liberation Army in the Qireze village, near Drenice. The delegates were imprisoned three days ago during their visit to the Albanian refugees in that area. Neither the Kosovo Liberation Army nor any Albanian party have commented the incident. Only the Kosovo Parliament Presidency called on the Kosovo Liberation Army to free the politicians. Kosovo Democratic Union party vice-president Kole Berisha said on Wednesday that they have no information whether the politicians have been released, or the reasons for their detainment. Berisha denied that the Kosovo Democratic Union Presidency appointed a mediator for talks between political parties and the Kosovo Liberation Army for the release of kidnapped politicians.
