The new ministers are ready Prime Minister Ilir Meta has drawn up a shortlist of possible new ministers. Sources in the Prime Minister’s Office report that the people who will head departments such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Defence, Economy and Transport are, respectively, Arta Dade, Luan Rama, Luan Shahollari, etc. These are the names being mentioned for possible appointments in the Meta 2 government. Unofficial sources say that the new candidates have also won the approval of PS chairman Fatos Nano himself. Most of those proposed are considered people of the “pink” leader, who is doing everything possible to place his own people in the government headed by FRESH leader Meta. The most surprising name for the post of Minister of Finance is Luan Shahollari, who had not imagined taking on this post.

Businesses as a whole, and small businesses in particular, face serious difficulties because they cannot get credit. P. 9

After four or five “deadly” blows delivered by Culture Minister Edi Rama to the Albanian artist, cultural institutions fell into a state of knockdown, waiting for more suitable days. Thus Alba-filmi, the National Theatre, the Opera and Ballet Theatre, the Children’s Cultural Centre, etc. suspended their cultural activities across the board, by order of the state bureaucracy.
