(FOR KEY SEE REVERSE)
1. Traditional Yugoslav policy toward Albania has not changed. It is still dedi-
cated to the acquisition of Albania as an integral part of Yugoslavia. Tito
regrets having opened Albanian schools in Yugoslavia and has begun to change
them into Turkish schools. All Albanian teachers have been obliged to become
Yugoslav citizens or leave Yugoslavia. This policy has caused dissatisfaction
within the Albanian communities in Yugoslavia.
2. The UDB (Yugoslav intelligence service) organizes daily propaganda missions into
Albania. Two or three man teams composed of Albanians spread propaganda leaflets
written in the Albanian language and favoring Yugoslav policy. General Dusan
Mugosa, who is directing the activities of the Albanian Prizren Committee, has in-
formed Apostol Tenefi, Lufti Spahiu, and the other leaders of the Committee that
Yugoslavia is providing, material aid for the liberation of Albania and asks nothing
in return. Yugoslavia's true intentions, however, is to use the Prizren Committee
for the integration of Albania into the Yugoslav republics.
