The Albanian Language. An Indo-European language, not deriving from any other. Considered a descendant of one of the Paleo-Balkan languages of antiquity: Illyrian. It’s believed that Old Albanian was pivotal to the development many Balkan languages. #100DaysofAlbanianHistory

Let’s be clear here, he chooses to forgive Milosevic. The decision for NATO’s air strikes were after months of trying to come to an agreement. The butcher of the Balkans had 78 days to stop his genocide in Kosova and by choosing to continue, he inflicted pain on Serbia.
