Macedonian army fights border rebels Special report: Kosovo Nick Wood in Debelde Tuesday February 27, 2001 The Guardian Fears of war erupting between ethnic Albanian rebels and the Macedonian army increased yesterday after sustained clashes on the frontier between Macedonia and Kosovo. For two hours gunfire, the crack of light artillery and the dull thud of grenade launchers in and around the village of Tanusevc, just inside the Macedonian border, could be heard. It is the first sustained period of fighting in the region and follows six weeks of mounting tension in which one Albanian has been killed. It was unclear what sparked the fighting but a member of the Albanian guerrilla group, who spoke to the Guardian half a mile from the village, claimed Macedonian forces fired the first shots. "If they enter the village, it will turn into a graveyard for them," he warned. "It's going to explode everywhere." The emergence of the rebel group, which calls itself the National Liberation Army, along the border with Kosovo has caused huge international concern. The Macedonian government claims it is being supported from within Kosovo. Shortly after he had finished speaking, a shot landed 10 metres from where he was standing. He was dressed in camouflage fatigues and wore a red badge embroidered with the words Ushtaria Climatare Kombetare, whose initials, UCK, are the same in Albanianas those of the Kosovo Liberation Army. The rebel fighter acknowledged that the group had the same structure as the KLA. He also said they had built a network across Macedonia, from Tetevo in the west to Skopje, the capital. More than three hundred women and children have left the village over fears of an outbreak in fighting. Macedonia's population is estimated to be between 25% and 35% ethnic Albanian. The government coalition includes the country's leading Albanian party. Diplomats are concerned that an escalation in fighting could lead to conflict elsewhere in the country.
