So I brought Thaci in to see Albright in the corner dining room serving as her office. I had rarely seen her so angry. You promised you would work with us. Now you are destroying the chances for western action. You will be personally responsible for the deaths of your people if you don't change your mind.

I know it is hard for you to defer the question of independence. But if you can't agree, you will have no support in the west. You will risk your friendship with me and with Mr Rubin. You have no better friends in the west than Mr Rubin and me. But we can't help you if you let down the Albanian people this way.
