INVESTIGATIONS The traces of the treasure in Switzerland, Belgium and Sweden EDITORIAL By Adrian BAÇI PAGE 3 Government upside down The government built with duplicated managers, vertically federated according to the new prime minister Fatos Nano and mandated from above to reform an economy that still stands on its feet both out of necessity and thanks to donor aid, is showing all the symptoms of a government without a head. Meta may publicly declare that he is acting according to the program, but everyone feels that Albania is in crisis. Or that it is in crisis? Or that it has come out of it and slipped back into it again? Through a media-manipulated alibi, it has been officially stated that the prime minister must first get the government working in order to verify what functions and what does not, or else come out and denounce it publicly. Otherwise, he must somehow react to the strained demands of public opinion. Meta may publicly declare that he gave the government a party makeover and that he has seen which ministers work better and which do not. All this could make sense if there were an experienced government as a reference point. Meta could speak differently if he were facing a class of specialists in the most important fields and did not need to conduct his first experiments in running a government. At least for as long as this exercise lasts, it will somewhat burden the business climate, our free enterprise has recently warned, which of course is also governed under the influence of the most incompetent governments. Meta may openly state that he has tailored the ministers according to an electoral bargain and that he has also removed those he dismissed at greater cost. As has happened with his own prime minister in establishing hostile relations with representatives of business. Therefore, we can say that Ilir Meta is going through a lonely period in the national economy, which will continue until the reform course changes or it is transformed.

TELENOR decides: "We are not coming to Albania" At the end of AMC, TELENOR no longer has a name to keep the monopoly, which was given to it a few months ago.

Police: Poçi to court The budget in trouble, parties are asking PNUD for money; no funding for the election campaign. Kosovo: the total amount of illegal spending by the state is increasing as it came to light in secret, while electoral offices are complying with advice from international observers. Merged international voices are alarmed, quietly expressing their objections to the chosen reform in Albania, which will single out decisions in the implementation of a special fund, but the word is that a figure is being considered for voting.
