Land where the fortunate sleep nine to a small tent
Article Abstract:
Many ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo, Yugoslavia, are now living in very basic conditions in Albania itself. Many are being accommodated in military tents on the site of three open-air swimming pools on the outskirts of Tirana, Albania, while others are occupying a disused mental hospital. The majority are grateful merely to have survived the exodus from Kosovo, and there is considerable optimism that it will be possible to return there eventually.

From the war rooms of Whitehall to the squalor of Stankovic No 1
Article Abstract:
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie have visited Stankovic No 1, a camp for ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo, Yugoslavia, near Skopje, Macedonia. They seemed to be deeply moved by seeing the conditions in which the refugees must live. The camp has become the fifth-largest population centre in Macedonia. In total, Macedonia is sheltering more than 173,000 Kosovar refugees, of whom 74,300 are living in camps and 91,300 with friends or relatives.
