Го сметате за несериозен командантот кој командуваше со трупите на УЧК во Арачиново??
Човекот веќе две години го држи под оружје Танушевци! Дури Rai Tre (Италијанска ТВ) снимаше репортажа, за него, а нашите останаа глуви (со исклучок на А1, кој никој не ја свати сериозно... како демек А1 само предизвикува тензии).
Па дури и угледниот Британски весник
Financial Times, пренесе дека овај командант си прогласи
Република Танушевци!
Balkan disputes simmer under surface
By Neil MacDonald in Tanushevci, Macedonia-Kosovo border area

In the jagged highlands where Macedonia meets Kosovo, Kommandant Hoxha has declared his home area “the Republic of Tanushevci”. His men fired shots at a police helicopter two weeks ago and have placed a heavy machine gun at the front door of the decrepit village school that serves as his office.
While larger towns enjoy paved roads, high-speed internet access and modern shopping malls, places like Tanushevci fit old-fashioned Balkan stereotypes. “The Macedonian state has only brought us trouble,” said the ethnic Albanian insurgency veteran and former member of parliament, who is also known as Xhezair Shaqiri.
His followers want the Macedonian police to stay out of their lives. “I’ve kept a gun in my hand,” Mr Shaqiri told the Financial Times. “Many ethnic Albanian villages guard themselves these days. They’re very upset.”
Western Balkan foreign ministers, gathered at a European Union-led summit in Sarajevo on Tuesday, heard their counterparts from the bloc reiterate past promises of enlargement.
Bosnia and Kosovo, as usual, upstaged Macedonia as regional trouble spots. For Spain, which holds the EU presidency until the end of June, the most urgent concern was persuading Kosovo’s and Serbia’s chief diplomats to sit in the same room.
Yet ex-Yugoslavian Macedonia – after achieving EU candidacy in 2005 – looks shakier than ever since the 2001 insurgency. Integration with Brussels – the main carrot that enticed ethnic Albanian fighters to lay down their arms – has lost momentum.
Greece, with a northern province also called Macedonia, has prevented the country of 2m from joining Nato and would also veto EU membership. The “name dispute”, while whipping up Macedonian nationalism, frustrates the sizable ethnic Albanian minority, which is thought to form between a quarter and a third of citizens.
“The longer delay, the greater the overall uncertainty, and this will weigh on ethnic relations,” said Erwan Fouere, EU special representative.
Police special forces – drawn overwhelmingly from the Macedonian ethnic majority – last month killed four alleged arms smugglers in a gun battle that ethnic Albanian politicians said looked like “an execution”.
The interior minister, Gordana Jankuloska, said the seizure of hundreds of weapons proved otherwise. “Use of force was the last resort,” she said. “Crime is crime, and police see no division on ethnic lines.”
The centre-right government, intent on asserting Macedonian identity, has poured money into refurbishing the capital, Skopje, with statues of Alexander the Great and other historic heroes. The “Hellenic” theme seems irrelevant to ethnic minorities.
The prime minister, Nikola Gruevski, can point to pro-EU achievements. Macedonia is the first ex-Yugoslav country to resolve all its borders. The last agreement came with Kosovo, the ethnic Albanian-dominated neighbour that declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Mr Shaqiri’s men last year helped to demarcate 39km – without being reimbursed for petrol, he added.
Still, state authority remains thin on the ground. Normal police patrols never venture this far uphill. When special forces last came through, they molested local women, Mr Shaqiri said.
His birthplace – a cluster of houses 20km up a bumpy track from the next town – suffers frequent electrical outages. A few hundred residents survive on goat herding, vegetable gardening and, as he admits, small-time smuggling. The police, rather than locals, control serious drug and human trafficking, he claimed.
The villagers would have preferred to be in Kosovo, although separatism is not their cause. “We don’t mind which state we live in, and Kosovo neglected us too,” said a man with a Soviet-type sniper rifle. “We want a paved road and jobs here.”
Neglect keeps the border “porous”, Mr Fouere said. “A long-term solution must include economic investment and confidence building in those remote villages,” he said.
