It is suspected that another crossing by inflatable boat may have been organized. Italian authorities say they are cooperating with Albanian structures to clarify the routes and responsibilities.

Fear of corruption in the Confederation: And two dismissals

Ankara: Meeting about Mekki Zogu... TIRANA (z.z.) — In this climate of unrest and government uncertainty, the focus of the press seems to have shifted all at once from the “SKANDAL” screen to the chairman of the Confederation, who caused a great deal of noise last week by denouncing the names of “communists” in SHIK. Asked last night by a television station about the corruption allegations circulating about him, Mr. Zogu stated that “those who accuse him will answer before justice.” He declared that there is no criminal proceeding against him and that everything is being done to discredit him. Meanwhile, at the same time, further administrative measures have been taken in the Confederation. It has been announced that two officials have been dismissed from their posts. According to sources, the decision was motivated by “disciplinary violations” and “shortcomings in the performance of duties.” It remains unclear whether the moves are directly linked to the accusations of recent days or to internal reorganization. The newspaper notes that the climate of political and institutional uncertainty is also being reflected in other organizations, where internal conflicts are coming to the surface. In Ankara, a meeting is expected regarding Mekki Zogu[?].

Athens: the reception of deputies is delayed

Athens: the reception of deputies[?] For the boycott: strong condemnation of the communist opposition. The text in the column is partly unreadable in the image; words such as “journalists,” “treatment,” “Albanian,” “deputies,” “today,” “administration,” “defendants” can be seen, but they cannot be transcribed with high certainty. The readable part suggests a political news item from Athens concerning the reception of deputies and reactions from the opposition.
