Monopolization of Parliament is not allowed These days the chairman of the PPSH, Sali Ceko, has held a series of meetings with local government bodies to discuss their problems. The meetings will continue today and throughout the week in the communes of the city of Korçë and the communes of the Korçë district. The aim of the meetings is to organize activities in this area. As part of the program to prepare for local and parliamentary elections, he asked that people and their problems not be forgotten, that proper help be given to solve them, and that information from the people be gathered as well as possible. We will continue the fight against every kind of monopolization, which is also the effort of the PPSH and the democratic movement. The meeting also discussed the organization of the communes and their preparation. Representatives of the PPSH leadership also held meetings in several other communes of the Korçë district, where they discussed economic problems, development of the area, and other issues, mainly in the field of transport and the circulation of goods. The meetings continued in the communes of Mborje, Drenovë, Vithkuq, Vloçisht, Libonik, Bulgarec, Dishnicë, Siutë and Vreshtas. At these meetings, the need to change the system of local leadership was discussed, along with preparing people to become more active in political life, defining priorities, and finding ways to solve the concrete problems of the areas. The issue of support for the communes by local and central state bodies was also raised, as well as their involvement in solving some problems that directly concern them. In conclusion, it became clear that the PPSH, despite its ongoing efforts to give the people a new political alternative, will not allow initiative and free speech to be monopolized by others. It was further emphasized that, under pluralism, internal democracy must be respected, one-sided propaganda must not be used, and the voice of the people must not be underestimated. Various representatives of local communities also took part in the discussions, raising issues of water supply, roads, schools, and electricity supply. Below are some of the main issues discussed in the meetings: • For freeing the communes from direct dependence on the center. • For greater involvement of young people in political life. • For increased cooperation between local bodies and the people. • For preparing local and parliamentary elections. • For expanding public information and contact with the people.

From the old report of the Free Confederation of Free Trade Unions The Democratic Confederation of Kosovo continues to denounce the colonizing policy and the displacement of Albanians from Kosovo. According to the report, since 1990 Serbia has pursued a new policy toward Kosovo, aimed at changing the ethnic composition and weakening Albanian institutions. The report mentions interventions in administration, education, employment, and public organizations, as well as pressure on Albanian families. The Confederation calls for intervention by international organizations and protection of the rights of Albanians in Kosovo.
