Contents Summary
This report focuses on the southern territories of the former Yugoslavia—Macedonia and Kosovo. Historical background information, ethnic make-up, and current attitudes are all detailed, leading up to the present-day political situation. The plight of ethnic Albanians is focused on in both regions, revealing fears that the conflict in Bosnia could spread to Kosovo and Macedonia. Footage includes city and country life from both areas, including interviews with ethnic Albanians, Macedonians, and Serbs from both Macedonia and Kosovo. At the time of the report, tensions between ethnic groups are running high because of the ensuing war in other parts of the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Croatia). Statements included: Ibrahim Rugova, President of LDK for ethnic Albanians in Kosovo; Kiro Gligorov, President of Macedonia; Mahi Nisimi, Speaker for the Party of Democratic Prosperity in Kosovo; Captain Naum Businovski, Macedonian Army; Major Radomir Popović, Yugoslav Army (JNA); and Risto Nikovski, Deputy Foreign Minister, and local people.
