ARRESTED: Police Officers accused of Beating Albanian Prisoners in Montenegro


PODGORICA, Montenegro, 20 May 2008 -- Five police officers were arrested today in connection with the beating and torture of Albanians arrested in September 2006 known as "Eagle's Flight." The officers are accused of using excessive force after breaking into the homes and arresting 18 Albanians from Malesia e Madhe on the eve of the parliamentary elections on 9 September 2006.

Found your blog through some of the other Albanian blogs and have linked to it on mine (balkanbaby.blogspot.com). Just thought you'd be interested.

It is the time to recognize the right of Albanian in Ulqin, Plav- Guci, Tuz etc.
They have the right to exercise their language and preserve their culture as Serbian minority in Kosova. With groups of military police in black, similar as FBI forces, YOU CANT SCARE and TERRORIZE the Albanian anymore. If you will persist in Discrimination and Persecution of Albanian in the future, as you did in a past and are doing in the present, than soon on later you might find yourself in a HEAD ON COLLISION with more than 7milion Illyrian.

The last time I checked, I was able to speak Albanian, attend an Albanian wedding, play Albanian music, and visit my Albanian relatives who attend Albanian language schools in Montenegro. I've also read Albanian-language newspapers, visited businesses owned by other Albanians, watched Albanian-language news on T.V, all while in "gasp" Montenegro!

I'm sick and tired of this sensational fear-mongering among the Albanian diaspora. If more Albanians participated in Montenegrin politics rather than shun it altogether, there would be nothing to complain about.

Of course, that's all we can do: complain. No wonder they call Albanians the "Niggers of Europe".

The last time I checked I was NOT ABLE to see ANY Albanian police chiefs in Ulqin (where 85% of all inhabitants are ... you guessed it, Albanian)...

I was NOT ABLE to see any Albanian judges in these same regions(because I guess we are just stupid if we decide not to assimilate, right?) ...

I was NOT ABLE to read any INDEPENDENT Albanian newspapers other than those financed by the Montenegrin authority ... (i.e., Koha Javore as you know)

I was NOT ABLE to take any classes in ALBANIAN at universities (in close proximity to where Albanians are a majority) or for credit toward graduation, phenomenal given that Albanian is a major foreign language in a state that continues to shun it out...

I was NOT ABLE to watch any Albanian television programs that are funded by the state in efforts to promote diversity and culture ...

PERHAPS ITS BECAUSE WE ARE "EUROPE'S NIGGERS" AS YOU PROPOGATE HERE AND ASSUREDLY AGREE TO THAT ALBANIANS WILL NEVER GET THE RIGHTS THEY ARE PROTECTED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS...

**We are not niggers of europe... we are good people,we are people that live for respect!.. Its albaniana like you who make us the niggers of europe.. and not all albanians complain.. its easy for u to say because you are sitting down in your warm house and reffering to your own people as niggers of europe.. you should be ashamed of yourself!! If more albanians had more confidence in our culture and cared more about it we wouldnt have problems like we do! All the albanians ever wanted was respect and to live in peace, to be able to go to the store and hear there own language they are not asking or have asked for much... but its the selfish young albanians who live in america and dont know what its like living the hard way... having to go out and get wood to warm ur house just enough to survive or having to look for food to feed your children.. or having to work ur ass off all day in 100 degree weather to give ur kids or yourself somthing to eat so they dont starve AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT not being able to talk albanian or be proud to be albanian... its sooooo sad to see how spoiled our albanian kids are today... so rethink what u say!! we are NOT NIGGERS of albania... we are caring and kind people who respect EVERYONE as long as we get some respect back.. im not saying 100% of our people are like that but you know what most of them are... there are good and bad in people ... but albanians have been tortured for so many years!! i would know my great grandfather and both grandfathers have been.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF UR CULTURE LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!!
