"We are Albanians, not Yugoslavs, as all the world's newspapers write. The misunderstanding came from Skopje, the city where we were born, which was previously Albanian and then passed to Yugoslavia. But we all continue to speak Albanian and my sister (who also knows English and a little French) writes letters to me in Albanian.
