The Greeks raise the white card, the Italians the red one
Albanians remain on Europe’s roads, despised, discriminated against, and threatened with death.
Nearby neighbors have used the “migrant card” for interests and influence in the region. The southern neighbor has often promised, but has rarely kept its word. In any case, better late than never. Seasonal employment for five years remained merely a slogan, often converted into the infamous “sweeping” operations. But yesterday it seems that everything has become reality. Our socialist allies in Greece have decided to make the Albanian left-wing government credible. The move by the Greek government is intended to lend credibility to the Albanian one. Perhaps Nano is collecting the honorarium from the Crete Summit, where, according to the orchestra, the Serbs and Greeks were also cast in a dark light; indeed, even his conversation with Milošević did not leave him weak.
Now Albanians who live in Greece are not without hope. Simitis’ government has taken two cards out of its pocket at once, the white and the green ones. Registration with the white card begins on 1 January and runs until 31 December 1998. The green card, meanwhile, begins on 30 July and has a five-year term with the right of renewal.
Strangely, Italy does not play market-card games. The issuing of the red card for the unfortunate fleeing people of the South shows that the neighbors across the sea have had enough of Albanians, contrary to the states. At sea, death in order to return the wolves[?] to their country in hunger, the authorities have still not softened.

The Republicans of Shkodër do not recognize “Vllaznimi”
The PD press has emphasized the launch of the creation of the “Vllaznimi Committee” in Shkodër with the gathering of all right-wing forces.
The newspaper “Republika”: We do not know what this committee is. As a branch of the PR we did not take part and did not support it — neither we, nor Balli, nor Legaliteti. Those who gathered “Vllaznimi” are the Parties of the Union for Democracy.
The same position was confirmed at the PR headquarters: PR does not take part in the “Committee of Vllaznimi”.
