The chairman of PNDJ, Vasil Melo, has suggested that he favors the resignation of Public Order Minister Petro Koçi: “This case has once again put the Ministry of Public Order in the dock, as it bears the main responsibility for what happened yesterday in Berat.” Page 3 Property deeds are being forged Page 8
