KLA claims responsibility for attack on Gosince watchtower

SKOPJE - Certain Commander Fljamuri has claimed the responsibility on behalf of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) for late Tuesday's attack on Gosince border watchtower in northern Macedonia and beating of three out of four on-duty police officers, Macedonian online edition of Press24 reported.

Fljamuri addressed the Macedonian media through a statement saying that discrimination and oppression against Albanians in Macedonia became unbearable.

Decadence, political instability, economic and cultural discrimination and social development seek re-awakening of the KLA, reads the statement issued on Tuesday.

Fljamuri called on all officers, especially Albanians, to immediately put on their uniforms and join the uprising.

He qualified the attack in Gosince, in the border area with Serbia's southern province of Kosovo-Metohija, as the first victory of KLA which gives them strength for other major victories.

Albanians are waiting for better times. We expect the support of all Albanians wherever they are, says the statement signed by Fljamuri.
