Sudja: “You don’t deserve my concern; damn you!” Dramatic situation at Sudja. The crowd breaks the windows of the company’s offices Silence from Sudja’s team. Their only response: another 520 clients will be on today’s lists. Reliable sources told “Republika” that, as of yesterday morning, the money had not arrived.

The Mayor: You are right, but this is not within my jurisdiction For two days, the PR headquarters in Gjirokastër has been turned into a residence. The citizen who has occupied it claims to have an order from the Municipality, while the Mayor flatly denies responsibility: Does he have it in writing? PR Chairman E. Fico is seeking help from the authorities’ offices, but the answer he receives from the Municipality is: “You are not within our jurisdiction!” Could there be some kind of agreement arranged behind the scenes here?

The fifth argument is tradition. From 1913 to the present day, there is no known case of an Albanian converting to Serb identity. The sixth and most important argument is religion.
