PRSH’s white list

The election date has been formalized and only the candidates still need to be nominated by the political parties. This has left the campaign open. This fact has also drawn considerable concern from the opposition, including PRSH, which, if it takes part in the elections, has already started very early to attack the government first over the bad economic situation and then over manipulated electoral lists. PRSH supporters will announce almost all candidacies in the direct elections, while the deadline for the indirect list has passed into politics. It remains for the government to formalize the election list with the commission. Over the weekend, the leaders of the Steering Committee worked on drafting the election list. These candidate lists will be submitted not only to the Central Electoral Commission, but also to announce the result of the joint participation.

Mr. GODO’s meeting with American senators

Despite the stance of the head of the U.S. parliamentary group in the Senate, Mr. GODO, with American senators, the ambassador in Mo? made one move public. A leader of the democrats and the right-wing alliance was created in each leadership in Albania, with the Kosovo issue on the table. But the price of this at their conference, which will open tomorrow at noon in Tirana, has sparked debate over the lists. Mr. Godo, a representative of the Albanian opposition, will be one of the participants in the conference, which will gather heads of state from various European countries. The main topics to be discussed are economic integration, the political and security situation in the Balkans, the breakup of Czechoslovakia, the European Union, the new Russia, as well as aid to Balkan countries. According to the German daily Die Welt, one of the first recommendations is that the right of Kosovo Albanians to self-determination should be the key point in the conference’s final document. If this is achieved, it would be a major victory for the democratic movement in Kosovo. However, the statement by German Foreign Minister Mr. Kinkel about economic aid, good governance, democracy and human rights for the former communist East, as well as for Albania and Kosovo, suggests a major change. Also missing is the proposal from the working group prepared by Mr. Godo. In addition, a joint declaration for the people of Kosovo will be issued at the end of the conference. Mr. Godo stated that discussing political and economic rights, good governance, the establishment of institutions across several new states, as well as receiving help from Western countries, is of great importance to the struggle for freedom, and he spoke with strong emotion about these issues. Regarding Kosovo, Mr. Godo, who was elected as the first leader of the democrats in Albania and is one of the country’s best-known politicians, emphasized that Kosovo deserves self-determination and that its issue should not be left in the shadows or behind the scenes.
