But Do They Understand Bulgarian?
</hdr><body>
<p>By Janice Castro/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> Among Western nations in the path of the East European
exodus, Greece is the destination of choice for shepherds.
First, hordes of penniless Bulgarian shepherds showed up sans
flocks. Then Albanian shepherds started pouring in, bringing
along their herds. Athens sent the Albanians home but kept the
animals. Sheep without shepherds + shepherds without sheep =
solution, yes? No. E.C. rules prevent Athens from exporting,
selling or giving away the sheep. Athens is now seeking aid to
provide the Bulgarians with fresh flocks. Meanwhile, the
Albanian sheep are not long for this world. Anybody for shish
kebab?
