QUESTION: A follow-up. If the Greeks of Northern Epirus in Albaniawill elect their own prime minister, like the Kosovar Albanians inSerbia, I'm wondering, Mr. Casey, if Undersecretary Nicholas Burns,with the same token, will congratulate such a Greek prime minister ashe did yesterday for Hashim Thaqi?MR. CASEY: Oh, Mr. Lambros, what an unfair question!


Mr.Lambros, as you know and as everyone well knows, Kosovo is a veryunique situation, and it -- (audio break) -- and settlements are not aprecedent for any other region.And as you know, that's long been a consistent part of U.S. policy.more: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2008/jan/99231.htm
