(19 Mar 1999) Albanian/Nat
The conflict in Kosovo is driving many ethnic Albanians to flee the province into neighbouring Macedonia.
Their continued flight comes as frustrated international mediators adjourn peace talks in Paris and accuse the Serbs of trying to unravel the deal.
The latest escalation in tension is likely to lead to an increase in the number of refugees trying to escape the bloodshed.
Ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo have been attending Friday prayers in the small town of Tetovo in Macedonia.
Ninety per cent of these people are Albanian.
Some have lived in Macedonia for years, many more have recently arrived, fleeing from the ethnic violence which threatens to tear Kosovo apart.
There are even members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (K-L-A) among them.
For the most part the Kosovo Albanians are given refuge by others already in Macedonia.
The refugees have much to pray for.
Many of them, including members of the K-L-A, fear the war is about to get much worse and will eventually spill over into Macedonia.
Serb forces continue to build up their military strength within Kosovo and along the border.
One of the refugees says the Albanians have no choice but to wage all out war with the Serbs.

"I think the fighting definitely won't stop and I think the Albanian people should rise up and fight because they're (the Serbs) evil to us, they're evil to the whole Albanian people, we're all in a panic."

He also said his people would welcome a NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo, something the Serbs have always rejected outright.
For now it seems unlikely these men will be returning home soon.
And over at the Kosovo-Macedonia border, refugees continued to pour into Macedonia on Friday just hours after the peace talks in Paris over Kosovo's future were adjourned.
Western negotiators have said they would not restart the discussions unless the Yugoslav government accepted the autonomy clause.
The U-N said on Friday some 443-thousand people have fled their homes in a year of conflict between Yugoslav forces and ethnic Albanian rebels.
