Students Independent Union of the University of Prishtina (SIUUP)
as a member of the presidency. He was the international
officer. Albin was also a member of the Organizing Board (at
University level) of the students' peaceful protests for the

minister of UK), Klaus Kinkel (ex-foreign minister of
Germany), Hubert Vedrine (foreign minister of France), Robert
