Page "Enver Hoxha" Paragraph 24

A problem developed however when the Yugoslav Communists disagreed with the goal of a Greater Albania and asked the Communists in Albania to withdraw their agreement.

According to Hoxha, Josip Broz Tito had agreed that " Kosovo was Albanian " but that Serbian opposition made transfer an unwise option.

After the Albanian Communists repudiated the Greater Albania agreement, the Balli Kombëtar condemned the Communists, who in turn accused the Balli Kombëtar of siding with the Italians.

The Balli Kombëtar, however, lacked support from the people.

After judging the communists as an immediate threat to the country, the Balli Kombëtar sided with the Germans, fatally damaging its image among those fighting the Fascists.

The Communists quickly added to their ranks many of those disillusioned with the Balli Kombëtar and took center stage in the fight for liberation.
