[ [http://lajme.dervina.com/?sherbimi=lajme&lajmi=9898-1935:718 DERVINA.COM - Information Page of Albanian Diaspora ] ] The organisation is reportedly linked to the Kosovo Liberation Army and the National Liberation Army, both ethnic Albanian paramilitary organisations in Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia respectively.

As of 2001, the Greek police reported that the group consisted of approximately 30-40 Albanians. It reportedly does not have the support of the Albanian government. [ [http://www.hri.org/news/greek/mpa/2001/01-05-31.mpa.html#05 Macedonian Press Agency: News in English, 2001-05-31 ] ]
