STOCKHOLM - The ALbanians at Kosovo are in illusions when they think that the international sympathies for them will turn towards the support for independence, because if Dayton agreement said that there are no changes of Republican borders, than it also applies on Albanians in Kosovo and FYRM, as well as for Serbs in Croatia and Serbs and Croats in B&H. This is the opinion of expert for events on Balkans and researcher in the Swedish Centre for multi-ethnic studies of the Upsala University Helm Magnuson, published in the Swedish daily "Dages Niheter".

SKOPJE - The problems at Kosovo should be solved in peaceful way, in political dialogue - is the conclusion of talks on political security situation in the region, and especially in Kosovo and Metohija, of the premiers of FYRM and Albania Branko Crvenkovski and Fatos Nano. The two statesmen, who met in Ohrid, have assessed that between Albania and FYRM the relations were improved, especially in the field of economic cooperation, what is, as stressed, the result of several signed inter-state agreements.
