The Sauk special unit is stupefied with hashish

Even before the serious event that took place two days ago was over, the ‘hawks’ were still hovering. The Albanian “hijacker” who did not speak Albanian? For 30 straight hours while he held the bus hostage, he never spoke Albanian and never took off his mask TIRANA: The body of the kidnapped Albanian driver, who was from Lezha, has still not come to himself. Greek officials have publicly complained about the situation of the driver on the part of the Albanians. According to the latest investigations, there is no clear trace that the masked hijacker spoke even a single word of Albanian. P. 2

Property and political hypocrisies

By Ahen Iljazi The word in Albania is no longer joining the deed. If it were to align with electoral interests and the fundamental blackness of social developments in the country, this newspaper and society would grintel sakri. On the contrary, the transition is off to a fairly moderate start, and democrats and officials often present ordinary works to the public from a worn-out document. Not infrequently, something or a little earlier, property on the page of Albanians is not joining the deed. It is true that the process of returning and compensating properties is the one that has so far managed best to influence the progress of reform in the country. This is understandable if we see how important private property is as the basis of a free economy and as a constituent element of a democratic society. But the issue of ownership, in a very poor country, will carry even greater weight in the times ahead. The more the owner is returned to his place, the clearer the legal status of property is, the more possible it will be to create a clear and stable climate and put an end to the political hypocrisies that have accompanied this issue.

Where is it “disappearing”? Was the “hijacker” who did not speak Albanian really Albanian?

For 30 straight hours while he held the bus hostage, he never spoke Albanian and never took off his mask TIRANA: The body of the robbed Albanian driver, who was from Lezha, has still not come to himself. Greek officials have publicly complained that the Albanian police did not arrive on time. According to statements, it was a severe hostage-taking scene with the suspect who appeared to be Albanian, and who was kept masked. P. 2

The loan-shark money problem has been solved: “Ismail Kadare took it”...!

By Faruk Myrtaj While leafing through, 4–5 years ago, the book “Why do they feel it before escaping?”, by the anonymous “Izm”, more precisely the section “Albania and the world and Albania and not in it”, I was reminded of the earlier fact that the most popular Albanian medium, even among preachers, statesmen, and even beyond such ironic and satirical ones, generously finds the fable of innocence and the spirituals in the other backstage of Albanian life; yet, all the same, in the Albania of the tragic recent years, Ismaili with this work, thus in relation, has left the Albanian irony outside and far away!
