ALBANIA CAUTIONED
Respect Treaty Obligations
Yugoslavia’s Stern Note
NZPA—Copyright BELGRADE, Nov. 2.
In a stern Note, which fell only a little short of an ultimatum, Yugoslavia bluntly cautioned Albania tonight to return to ner policy of friendship and co-operation with Marsnal Tito’s Government, and to respect and carry out her treaty obligations, says the Associated Press. The formal Note added: “The Yugoslav Government considers that the Albanian Government should answer this Note in the shortest possible time.' 1 The Note was drafted in the most abrupt terms of any of the exchanges which have passed between Yugoslavia and the Russian-led Cominform countries since the bitter .Balkan war of words began 19 months ago. Yugoslavia listed a long series of complaints against Albania, including border provocations, frontier shootings, the persecution of Yugoslav citizens in Albania, and espionage by Albanian agents in Yugoslavia. In the Note,’ which was handed to the Foreign Office in Tirana, Yugoslavia said that she had held fast by the terms of the friendship treaty, but declared that it was not sufficient for only the Yugoslav Government to fulfil its obligations.
