His third-person game resembles like two drops of water the impotent political game he played during his shameful period of rule, which cost Albania as much as, perhaps, even the decades of Enver Hoxha did. Reading this piece written by Ramiz Alia about himself, but in the third person, it is hard to hold back a bitter smile. These little tricks of the crafty Alia resemble like two drops of water his failed and wretched political maneuvers, which perhaps cost Albania as much as Hoxha’s rule itself. The pathological fixation on informing the press—as though a citizen were being ordered to comply with a court ruling, and with the suggestion that the apocalypse is taking place—is the fixed idea that stirred the vices of those who ruled through a power riddled with vices and crimes. If it is true that Alia, or the Alias, supposedly own no property or assets, this does nothing but add to their guilt. They had no need for officially private homes, because they owned 28,000 square kilometers, which, with the characteristic short-sightedness of bloodthirsty rulers, they thought they would keep under their dictatorial control forever. If fate paradoxically helped them to answer legally only for coffee and fuel, that does not mean people have forgotten the monstrosity of the crimes weighing on them. Thus, if they have no money or property to pay even one thousandth of what they owe the people, let them pay, why not, with their utterly worthless hides. They know this kind of bargain well, because thousands have paid in this way despite being not in the slightest at fault, and certainly not before the criminals who judged in the name of crime. It is truly scandalous that many newspapers publish information from their own sources—news that Ramiz Alia himself drafts, who knows for what whim of an old man accustomed to being in the public eye. One wonders why a certain category of people has not learned to leave these corpses to oblivion, while never forgetting the great crime they committed against us all. The killings and the sacrifice of uniformed personnel by them, in the name of causes directed against Albanians, represent base provocations aimed at creating conflicts. This practice of Belgrade is definitively discredited. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Albania has taken the necessary measures to maintain security at the border and prevent incidents there.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs protests against statements by the Serbian authorities The Ministry of Internal Affairs protests against the irresponsible and fabricated statements made by the Serbian authorities regarding the two Serbian servicemen who were killed on 29.08.1995 by an Albanian terrorist gang on their own soil. These irresponsible statements merely signal the creation of incidents and provocations intended to increase tension and hostility toward Albanians. Their killing and the sacrifice of uniformed personnel, in the name of accusations against Albanians, represent base provocations aimed at creating con-

On 25.08.1995, the German company SIEMENS and representatives of the Albanian government (the Ministry of Finance, Transport, Trade, Industry, and Albtransport) agreed on the final stage of involvement in the form of a … financial … for the … and modernization … of Rinas.

I have never opposed the people. Those who oppose the people are fools, just as we are. People have no reason to trust us because they are not interested in the theses of Marks. The people will win, as always. Voluntary organizations are not the pinnacle of democracy and should not be criticized. Democracy can be enriched further with other forms as well. Hunger strikes have become less frequent recently. According to specialists, hunger strikes are becoming more frequent as food prices rise, even though the demands are political. The forthcoming electoral law will be neither proportional nor majoritarian. It will be mixed—so mixed, in fact, that it will not be clear which party a member of parliament belongs to. There is no law on copyright, and authors are being discriminated against. Here, a few days ago, one of the former senior officials who suffered political imprisonment became a victim of intellectual-property thieves. They boast of the work and did not react—not even Helsinki, as the authors’ agency... shameful. We appeal to the three associations to come up with a journalistic code of ethics as soon as possible. Next month will be a month of great victories for the socialists.

Today, enforcement officers[?] at the Tirana court served former President K.

Alia informed the enforcement officer that he owns neither movable nor immovable property, receives no pension, and lives at his daughter’s home, which is state property.
