The financial background of Anglo-Adriatika is revealed Three American banks support the fund Government under pressure, seeks a way out Page 3 EDITORIAL By Agim Baçi With Tao-Tao or without Tao-Tao, only one secret agreement continues to be made to dispel the darkness of a government sunk in it. But it punishes all the company’s shareholders. Dritka continued. What emerged from these recent talks with the government was the government’s violent and coercive rule. This is just as harmful as the damage it was causing citizens when, a few years ago, it came forward with empty promises to meet needs. While one side kept citizens’ money as if it were a game, the other in the morning came before the citizens’ screen to block speech a few hours later, accompanied by a voice that shed tears that belonged to the citizens and not to anyone sitting in office. In any case, this is a story that cannot go on forever. This also seems to be the concern of the people now dealing with the Anglo-Adriatika problem. Three American banks have stepped in to support the fund and pull everyone out of the mud. LAZARCOM, one of the best known firms with experience in managing such funds, has provided the necessary expertise. According to sources close to this firm, those with the main interest in resolving the affair and bringing it to a successful close are the banks and their clients. These data further reinforce the fact that the government must abandon its suspicions and accept international verification of this problem. If such a solution is made, then every day lost will be at the citizens’ expense. From the 100-100-year-olds, to the 100-1000-100-a!!
