DR. WIXMAN: I think that’s very crucial to under-
standing why the Albanians never claimed Kosovo.
Of the 5 million Albanians in the Balkans, 3 million
are Gegs. But two-thirds of Albanians in Albania are
Tosk, and one-third are Geg, If Albania incorporated
Kosovo with its Geg majority—and, by the way, the
Geg and Tosk dialects are not close enough to be
mutually understandable, and the two peoples have
very different cultures—Alb‘ania would have been
dominated by Gegs. This is one reason why Albania
as a state and as a nation is cool toward the idea of
incorporating Kosovo. However, that said, the hatred
1
toward the Serbs is growing throughout the area. If the
Serbs really attempt to annihilate the Kosovar Alba-
nians as they did the Bosnian Muslims, can Albania
sit back and maintain any credibility?
I think Albania thinks that it may be backed by Tur-
key, which in reality may be the case. The Turks are
improving their relations with Albania and are making
it clear that Kosovo is where they draw the line.
