\"At this point the battle for the Albanian cause has mostly been resolved by the creation of the second Albanian state, Kosovo, so a new redrawing of the borders or any danger of the spread of the crisis can be ruled out,\" [Stevo Pendarovski] says. He doubts that the \"Tunisian scenario\" can occur in the Balkans because - as he puts it - \"the political motives for the current developments in the Maghreb states, the Middle East, Greece, Italy, and now in Albania are completely different. We are talking about overlapping in time,\" Pendarovski says, although he agrees that social discontent exists on both sides of the Mediterranean, especially among young people who \"do not live as they would like to live.\"

Excerpt from interview with Macedonian State Electoral Commission Chairman Stevo Pendarovski by Macedonian MTV1 television on 14 April

[[Stevo Pendarovski]] Action should be taken to tackle the situation in cases where it has been established that there were inconsistencies in the mobilization of reservists. In other words, in cases where the [Interior] Ministry's leadership has indications that mistakes were made in the reservists' mobilization, the latter should immediately be called upon to return the weapons and uniforms they have been issued over the past two weeks. According to the latest information obtained yesterday afternoon and today, this has already been done; I do not have the exact figure, but even if I knew it, I would not be prepared to reveal it in public. The minister has appealed to a number of reservists from the Skopje area in particular to return the weapons, which should not have been issued to them under the positive [as heard] regulations in the Republic of Macedonia.

Skopje, 18 March: Troops of the Macedonian Interior Ministry intercepted and confiscated a truckload of weapons near Kumanovo [northern Macedonia] today.

[Interior Ministry Spokesman Stevo Pendarovski]... Sporadic exchanges of fire that could be heard overnight in the places that we have been frequently mentioning these days are continuing today. The most intensive gunfire at the moment is coming from a sniper from above the Tetovo Kale and from the Drenovec village, near the city stadium. Generally, gunfire and attacks on our forces have diminished drastically in intensity compared to yesterday, when shells were fired on the town centre... What is alarming is the registered increase in migration from the villages of Urvic and Jelovjane and increased border traffic, especially at the Kafasan border crossing, near Struga, and Tabanovce, towards the FRY.

SKOPJE, Macedonia -- Ethnic Albanian rebels attacked Macedonian forces near a northern village Friday, trapping senior government officials for hours, despite U.S. moves to cut the flow of supplies to the insurgents from Kosovo. Five Serb civilians were missing from the area and feared kidnapped by the rebels, Serb police said. Attacks by ethnic Albanian insurgents in Macedonia and southern Serbia just beyond Kosovo's borders have raised fears of a new Balkan conflict.
