He said it. UN human rights envoy Jiri Dienstbier said that the NLA and other ethnic Albanians who want to create a "Greater Albania" threaten to cause a new Balkan war. Dienstbier said the Albanian rebels are ideological and they intend to create an Albanian state based on ethnic principles alone. Dienstbier said he thought that the attack on multi-ethnic Macedonia was a big mistake for the rebels. Dienstbier said that the international community could not sit back and watch the ethnic cleansing of non-Albanians."
