“Kosovo and Metohija are a land inhabited mainly by the Shiptar people, who, as always, today want to unite with Shipnia (Albania). Therefore, we feel the obligation to indicate the correct path that the Shiptar people must go in order to realize their aspirations. The only way for the shiptars of Kosovo and Metohija to unite with Shipnia is a joint struggle, together with the other peoples of Yugoslavia, against the invaders and their minions. Since this is the only way to gain freedom, when all peoples, including shiptars, will be able to decide their fate with the right to self-determination, up to disconnection ”
