Kosova is entering the most critical phase in the road towards definition of the future of its 2 million citizens. The fragility of the situation can easily be taken advantage of by groups that are against Kosova’s right to self-determination and potentially direct the area into chaos. Events can be blown out of proportion to present Kosovars as the perpetrators of violence, not as the people who they really are – the ones who patiently have been pushing for the right to self-determination.

Therefore, during this time, accurate news sources are extremely important. The “New Kosova Report” site launched recently provides accurate news from reliable local and international sources.

This site provides the latest news through their politics, business, economy, society sections and also presents views and analysis from different sides through their views and analysis section.

Thursday, November 8, 2007  

Mr. LANTOS. Madam Speaker, I would like to call the attention of my colleagues in the Congress to a ceremony that was held on November 1 at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem. This ceremony, which recognized the unique role that Albanians played in saving every Jew who either lived in Albania or sought asylum there during World War II, marking the opening of ``Besa: A Code of Honor/Albanians who Rescued Jews during the Holocaust.'' This exhibit by Jewish American photographer Norman Gershman documents the heroism of the rescuers and their families--65 percent of whom were Muslim--who saved more than 2,000 Jews from the ravages of the Nazi Holocaust.
