I have a Serbian landlord. He has an interesting perspective on the whole Kosovo thing.

Would you like to share it with us?

Have a gander at this.

Florin Krasniqi

Krasniqi was a teacher in Vranoc, Kosovo, when he fled to the U.S., sneaking into the country from Mexico in the trunk of a white Cadillac on Christmas Eve, 1988, aged 24. He started out as a roofer and is currently the owner of Triangle General Contractors, a roofing company in Brooklyn.

In 1998-99, he raised $30 million from the Albanian community in the United States for the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and smuggled hundreds of high-powered American sniper rifles to Kosovo for guerrillas, which were distributed by his extended family clan in the region. One of his cousins, Adrian Krasniqi, was one of the founding members of the KLA. Adrian was an engineering student in Prishtina in 1996 when it is claimed that he lost faith in Kosovo's pacifist government and joined a cell of the then-underground KLA. He headed up the rebels’ weapons-smuggling operation and was the first guerrilla to die in a KLA uniform. Another cousin, Xhevdet Krasniqi, was also involved in the weapons-smuggling.

"Anything you need to run a small guerrilla army, you can buy here in America. You have all the guns you need here to fight a war. M-16s. That's what the U.S. soldiers carry in Iraq. All the rifles which U.S. soldiers use in every war, you can buy them in a gun store or a gun show." -- Florin Krasniqi
