The ex-president ... in that time said that a strong Macedonia is also in interest of all Albanians.
On a more relevant note, the last time that border was left unguarded by an international body, Kosovo effectively declared war on Macedonia, smuggling an entire army with complete weapons cache's through to Macedonia, to attack the Macedonian state and the Macedonian people.
As for Risto's point and recommendation that not a single ethnic Albanian be a patrol officer on the Macedonian side of the border, you misread what he wrote and it is a recommendation I completely agree with, particularly when considering the fact that ethnic Albanian soldiers in the Macedonian army, have in more than one instance expressed their loyalty to Albania rather than Macedonia, going so far as to take down Macedonian flags on the Macedonian army barracks, replacing them with the official flag of the Albanian state; an act of treason by any measure.
