In a letter to former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Front suggested the US to “take the Presevo valley away from Serbia” by declaring it an “overseas territory” like the Panama Canal.
The Democratic Front of National Union, which has a map of Greater Albania in its logo, believes that the idea to build the canal is “anti-Albanian and aimed at ethnically cleansing Albanians” and that it would give an opportunity to Russia to control the entire territory.
The Front reminded Clinton that the project for the construction of the canal was more than 100 years old and that it dated back to the time when The New York Times correspondent from the Balkans had released an agreement signed by the US and Russian capitalists in St. Petersburg.
They assert that the agreement entitles the U.S. to claim the so-called Preševo valley as its territory, writes the Macedonian daily, quoting parts of the letter sent to Clinton.
“The Presevo valley should be returned to the US focus of interest as an American overseas territory because it is just as important as the Panama Canal which is extraterritorial from Panama. The territory needs the US presence just like other similar territories,” reads the letter.
The Democratic Front of National Union believes that a principle of self-determination should be used to solve the Preševo valley issue and that ethnic Albanians from southern Serbia should have the right to express their stance.
“Those people should be allowed to have the final say as to whom they want to live with and to put an end to experimental policies in the Balkans,” the Front concluded in the letter.
