...station in Pristina, about 100 Albanians, mostly old women, waited last Tuesday to board for the 60-mile drive to Skopje in Macedonia. An Albanian woman whispered that the trip cost 20 deutsche marks (almost $11) and took about four hours. With a Serbian army escort urging visitors to clear the area because "it is too dangerous," the woman was asked why she was leaving. The escort interjected, "Because of NATO bombs, right?"
