Although the Nano issue was not put to a vote, public awareness increased! One of the protagonists in Strasbourg, Socialist Party deputy chairman Namik Dokle, appeared alone before the journalists at the press conference organized by the SP yesterday at midday. The conference in question was devoted to Albania’s entry as a full member of the Council of Europe. Perhaps because he was still immersed in the momentous event in Strasbourg, where, as we have learned, an agreement was reached to cooperate in overcoming the obstacles; perhaps because he does not want a polemic with the DP over healthcare, as well as the DP’s membership in the European Union of Christian and People’s Parties. Like representatives of Albania’s other political forces, the chairman of the SP parliamentary group called it a “historic event and a concrete opportunity for integration into Europe.” Although, for some time, Albanian socialists used the Council of Europe as a card to get their leader out of prison, and only recently joined forces… For the SP, as for all Albanians, joining the Council of Europe is a celebration and a victory,” he added, “the SP has long given its full consent to such a step.” The support the socialists decide to give in practical terms to Albania’s membership in the Council of Europe may be Namik against Namik P. 2

. Yesterday at 2 p.m., after the Court of Appeal issued its ruling, the son of former dictator Enver Hoxha became an inmate of Unit 313, to which he was taken in a blue police van immediately after the court hearing ended; the hearing upheld the decision of the court of first instance. Ilir Enver Hoxha had been sentenced about a month earlier to one year in prison because, in an interview given to the newspaper “Modeste”—according to the Albanian justice authorities—he had committed a criminal offense, namely “inciting hatred between sections of the population.” However, under the new Penal Code, which entered into force on June 1 of this year, Mr. Hoxha was supposed to remain under house arrest until the ruling of the court of second instance. The Court of Appeal’s upholding of the first-instance court’s decision brought Ilir Hox- [text as printed: “bëri që Ilir Hox- bëri që Ilir Hoxhën të merrte fund gjendja e arrestit shtëpiak”] to an end his house-arrest status, so that he could join his mother Nexhmije, who is serving an eight-year sentence.

I disagree with the opinion expressed that we have no standards in the field of letters. Many people, by filling in letters, have achieved results they could hardly have dreamed of. Dokle will go on the run, as he is seeking to kill Gramoz Ruçi. The order was given from Bënça in Tepelenë. The city’s guerrilla units carried out the assassination attempt at the crack of dawn. Dokle is hurrying to the press conference. In the name of the PSD, Dokle is now sentenced to death. The PD has also condemned Dokle, in the name of the Printing House. The Bosnian Serbs have begun “taking aim” at the UN peacekeeping troops. Jasusni Akashi has said that we will keep our cool even if only one peacekeeper remains alive. Freedom for Bosnia will come on the day the peacekeepers go on holiday. An unprecedentedly large campaign. People get up in the night with brooms and shovels and clean the streets and alleys of the cities. Mountains of lime. With this campaign now being undertaken, cholera will not even think of showing its face in Albania. Gerasim Arsenis asked to lay a wreath at the monument commemorating the Cham massacre, but they did not let him. They do not want to spoil the very good relations that have existed, exist, and will continue to exist between the two governments and the two friendly peoples.

The US president, Clinton, today reiterated the United States’ determination not to allow the war to spread in Kosovo, once again warning Belgrade that America would not hesitate to become involved militarily as well if the war were to reach the “Red Line” established in Kosovo. ATSH
