two people

Dear Claudia, I really don't know, I was not there. Fact is thet, as I head 
in news, two people entered the gallery before the opening and thorned the 
Jashari's image in two. They did not touch anything else.

It is nice to hear on this list that Albanians also can be "nationalistic" 
(actually they are all the time, since 80s), but it is always forgiven to 
them. Obviously some people in Belgrade can not forgive. There are many 
victims of Albanian terror living now here in Serbia as refugees, expelled 
from Kosovo. People on this list and curators must be aware of that fact. I 
hope I am not a chauvinist if I tell facts.
