SHIK: Berisha, the Serbs' agent The secret service publishes the intercepted phone conversation. SHIK: Berisha, the Serbs' agent. The name of the person who maintained ties with Serbia is revealed: a former SHIK official speaks. Brokaj, Cekaj and Klosi on the March lists. Scandal: Gjebra-Gaxibo, trafficking women to Italy. The government has been left adrift. Warnings that the government will break apart have become reality over the past week. These are words that mostly do not come from the core of the economy and are part of today's political folklore. But whenever asked about this serious phenomenon, the prime minister has tried to act as the man who can dismiss a government, the one who has the will, the one who alone can take responsibility. But the problem is that today we have a crisis whose dimensions are greater than what is seen in the display of the internal positions of people in government. It seems there are many things that have nothing to do with the government and over which it has almost no control. Everything has begun to become very serious in the country's economy. The bankrupt government Yet it seems the government does not even intend to get involved in this irresponsible game. More than anything else, this would be a barricade for a government that has lost its bearings. The words and actions that elevate a powerless authority and are believed to be gentler rather than stronger, and weaker. And this is not at all about the government, which according to itself demonstrates the ability to face the country's problems, something that did not happen either with Bukoshi's election or with any other unlucky package, if there is one. Nano, moreover, has a gift for calming the country and raising his political image. In this part of the world, government has turned into a toy that can only speak the first word, but not take responsibility for defeat. And that is what has happened with all previous governments. This does not mean it is impossible to go through this crisis, but it is clear that this crisis requires a stronger government, with clearer leadership and greater responsibility.
