The kidnapped little girl is being sought in Italy too After the news was published in the “Gazette,” Italian television also steps in . Luljeta’s story will be broadcast live tonight by RAI. The little girl who was kidnapped is being sought in Italy too. By our editorial staff TIRANA — The story of Luljeta Hoxha, a girl aged six and a half who was abducted in Albania 14 months ago, has become a national event for Italians too. Following the report by her relatives, published in the pages of the “Albanian Gazette,” and the suspicion that the girl may have been secretly adopted by an Italian family, her story will be broadcast by Rai tonight. The programme dealing with the case is entitled “Chi l’ha visto?”, is broadcast on the third channel of Italian Radio and Television (which, unfortunately, can be seen in only a few areas of Albania), and specializes in searching for missing persons. With an average of 6 million viewers per episode, “Chi l’ha visto?” has taken up dozens of cases during its four years on air. It is hosted by Donatella Raffai, one of the television personalities most popular with the Italian public. “We are covering Luljeta’s case,” the programme’s editorial staff in Rome explains, “because if it is possible that the child is in Italy, as her relatives believe, then it is our duty to find her. We will broadcast photographs of Luljeta, interview her parents, and we are sure that if someone has seen her, they will call. We receive hundreds of reports every week and often — with a little luck — some of them turn out to be accurate.” The Gazette will establish a live link with Tirana, in addition to numerous other footage and interviews recorded in recent days. The “live” programme will be broadcast from the Hoxha family home, the very place from which little Luljeta disappeared on the morning of 12 March 1992. The girl had gone out to buy two balloons at a small shop nearby. From that moment on, all trace of her was lost. The theory held by her parents was vigorously defended by Luljeta’s uncle, Bajram Hoxha: “We are convinced that the family is in Italy,” he said over the past four months ... The Gazette ...

The championship enters its final stretch: the winners are clear Inter beats Lazio. It remains to be decided who will drop into the lower division The championship enters its final stretch: the winners are clear Milan takes flight Inter trails by 4 points Inter beats Lazio. It remains to be decided who will drop into the lower division By our editorial staff It could have been the Sunday on which Milan wrapped up the championship, but instead it has to be content with taking a decisive step toward the title. Inter remains behind them, but now has only a slim chance of making up the 4 points separating it from the team at the top of the table. Juventus confirms its good form by beating Foggia 4–2. Here is a more detailed account of how the matches unfolded. ANCONA-MILAN 1-3 Guern’s modest Ancona side could not pose an obstacle to Capello’s Milan, even though Milan was not in particularly good form. Nevertheless, the road leading the Milan players toward the title and the European Cup looks easier than it did two weeks ago. In attack, Van Basten was seen again in acceptable form and Lentini was in very good condition. Rijkaard played well, even though he faced an opponent like Lupo, who kept him under control throughout the match. BRESCIA-ATALANTA 2-0 It was a day of madness at Brescia’s “Rigamonti” stadium, where the fans’ ugly behavior had a considerable impact. A poor match ended with the home side winning thanks to two goals by Raducioiu, which kept alive their hopes in the difficult battle to avoid relegation. CAGLIARI-UDINESE 1-1 Cagliari handed over a point, and given how events had unfolded, that was a great piece of luck on home ground. The draw naturally encouraged the visitors, while Mazzone’s players were worried, especially as Moriero had meanwhile left the game. He was the only player capable, with his quick bursts, of tearing apart Udinese’s defense. INTER-LAZIO 2-0 Inter, which suffered its only defeat of the entire championship in the first meeting, beat Lazio this time. The match was played on 13 December, when Inter rediscovered—also thanks to Manicone’s arrival—the balance that allowed it to chip away at Milan’s lead point by point. On Sunday too, Inter’s players played with authority, thus meriting their success, which was made easier by an early goal ... and could score plenty of goals; in the second half Foggia ... hopes for Juventus in the end, scores a goal and closes the match at 4-2. Trapattoni’s team plays like a famous side. The days when Juventus struggled to get good results even on its own ground and against weaker opponents seem far away. If it does not seem repetitive, Roberto Baggio must still be mentioned, the author of a dribble ... Juventus’s captain is going through a truly magical moment. NAPOLI-GENOA 2-2 A breach of sporting rules at the end of the season, in great heat that only Genoa took advantage of. The Neapolitans—with the exception of Ferrara—have their minds on the seaside: after taking a two-goal lead, Napoli let Genoa get one back ... FIORENTINA-PARMA 1-1 The match was played on Saturday, one day earlier than scheduled. Parma took the lead and, given how events had unfolded, a point away from home was a great piece of luck. tearing apart Udinese’s defense. SAMPDORIA-PESCARA 1-1 The match against Pescara became an absurd festival for Sampdoria: a draw that feels like a failure, a result that inspires no pride and is, to some extent, shameful. Farewell to the UEFA Cup, since the team has now entered the ridiculous zone, because of a swarm of bees that invaded the field. ... tennis. 4-5 is a scoreline from the early days, like the Olympic match watched by 40,000 spectators. Lots of goals, mistakes by goalkeepers and referees, an atmosphere of meaningless matches. Mondonico’s Torino, in the team ... and the side that beats the Olimpico, Roma leaves its generosity on the field but plays in a confused manner. …recovered, also thanks to the arrival of Manicone, the balance that gradually took points away from Milan. On Sunday too, Inter’s players played with authority, thus deserving their victory, which was made easier by the goal on the counterattack. JUVENTUS-FOGGIA 4-2 Juventus is in advan- a truly magical moment. NAPOLI-GENOA 2-2 A breach of the rules at the end of the season, in a great week, with benefits only for Genoa. The Neapolitans—apart from Ferrara—have their minds on the seaside: Napoli, leading by two goals, were caught by Genoa, who were playing with ten men after Carboni was sent off, and were at risk of losing. ROMA-TORINO 4-5 In a match that was a preview of the Italian Cup, Torino won by a score that brought no pride and was, to some extent, shameful; they bid farewell to the UEFA places while already looking ahead to next season’s matches, FIORENTINA-PARMA 1-1 The match was played on Saturday, a day ahead of schedule. Parma were in the lead, forcing Fiorentina into a dogged chase. The equalizer, headed in by Di Mauro, came only a few minutes before the end of the match. Vialli in action against Foggia

The deadline for Zepa expires tomorrow SARAJEVO — The new ceasefire order issued by the commanders of the Muslim forces, Sefer Halilovic, and the Bosnian Serb forces, Ratko Mlladiç, came into force. But it will take a few days to see whether this new ceasefire will do its job. The agreement, signed by General Philipe Morillon on behalf of the UN forces, provides for all forces deployed in Srebrenica to withdraw or hand their weapons over to the blue helmets. For the town of Zepa, the deadline expires at 5 p.m. tomorrow. However, there is considerable concern because the agreement was not signed by the Croats, who began bloody fighting with the Muslim government forces in the central region of the republic several weeks ago. Thus, it is not yet clear whether the Croats will respect the ceasefire. Meanwhile, the Bosnian Serb commander again postponed the payment plan accepted by the international mediators. In an interview with Tanjug, Mlladiç stressed that the Vance–Owen plan is “a strategic and political monstrosity that could protect as much as the Siamese twin has lived.” The senior official thus underscored that his people would not allow “the Serbs to be divided.”

After his visit to Albania, the Pope travels again After visiting Albania, the Pope travels again John Paul II speaks in Sicily: “Young people, fight back against violence” AGRIGENTO — Giovanni Paolo II, after his visit to Albania, continues his journey through the cities of Italy. Pope Wojtyla remembers the victims of Mafia violence. He stresses that the Church stands by him in the fight against the forces of evil. He addresses all young people first, urging them to make the right choice, without compromise, and to react forcefully against “false teachers,” sowers of evil. “During my visit to Sicily,” he told the young people of Agrigento who had welcomed him, “I cannot help recalling with particular sorrow those who, in this land and in the service of the law, paid with the sacrifice of their lives, setting an example in the fight against the forces of evil.” “Get up,” he urged emphatically at the Agrigento stadium, addressing the young people of Sicily and all young people everywhere: “young people, in Sicily as in every country in the world, must take up their own weapon, that is, come out of the shell that keeps them shut in; they must react to the attempts of the ‘teachers’ who seem persuasive on the surface but prove dangerous and false. They are the mechanisms, Pope ... that lead you along the paths of crime, drugs, unlawful and degrading acts.” A generation capable of allowing itself to be renewed by Christ, he said, is “a generation that truly changes society by uprooting the evils and injustices that compromise it.” When addressing the world of work, employers and professionals, Giovanni Paolo II spoke about the social and economic crisis, calling for “a responsible rediscovery of politics, directing it toward the objective of preparing ... and purifying it of the hypocritical murk of propaganda and the ... politics of the ... experience of democracy.” Addressing employers and ... the Pope said, “this is no longer a time for frontal opposition,” because in the present social and economic crisis “what matters is coherence, points of agreement on problems that require a joint effort by workers” and the fundamental justice of all those responsible ... Giovanni Paolo II received in the archbishop’s hall the parents of the victim Salvino, killed in a Mafia attack.

Motor racing, Formula One BARCELONA — Thanks to the 47th victory of his career, his third this season, Alain Prost took the lead in the Formula One drivers’ standings. The Williams champion had no trouble in the Spanish Grand Prix, reaching the finish in 1:31:27.685, at an average speed of 220.227 km per hour. Damon Hill led the race for the first ten laps, also in a Williams-Renault, but Prost later moved into the lead and remained dominant throughout. Hill retired after 4 laps. Ayrton Senna (McLaren-Ford) moved into second place, 17 seconds behind.

The first two Grands Prix were won by Nigel Mansell and were characterized mainly by rainy weather. This year, after two rainy years, the race was blessed with sunshine during the morning and took place under a scorching sun.

GENOA — An unusual natural incident occurred during the Sampdoria-Pescara match when Sampdoria goalkeeper Pagliuca, who up to that point had been guarding the south goal, was surrounded by bees as he left the field. GENOA — An unusual natural incident occurred during the Sampdoria-Pescara match when Sampdoria goalkeeper Pagliuca, who up to that point had been guarding the south goal, was surrounded by bees as he left the field; there was a beehive behind the net and its supports. The bees had caused some problems toward the end of the first half, but Pagliuca paid no attention to the swarm of insects behind him. When he was immediately called away from the field by the coaches, there was great confusion as people tried to find a way to intervene and avert the problem. The start of the second half was delayed. At the same time, several fans, annoyed by the delay, entered the field and, with their bare hands and no protective equipment, destroyed the hive. It was precisely then that the pumps arrived, with the appropriate equipment to clear the field of the “annoying invaders.” Wearing gloves, protective nets, jackets and boots, the four beekeepers solved the problem after nearly an hour’s work, in front of president Mantovani, who had also entered the field to check the situation. The match thus began about 50 minutes late.

BRESCIA — The second half of the Brescia-Atalanta football match began late because, during the interval, clashes broke out between supporters of the opposing teams, including on the pitch. Even before the match began, several incidents were reported between rival supporters and law-enforcement officers, who were forced to intervene to separate the opposing groups. Three young people were admitted to hospitals in Brescia and 15 others received various forms of medical treatment. A Brescia supporter was arrested, while other young people were stopped by police and taken to police headquarters. Law-enforcement officers were also among the injured. Hundreds of police officers and carabinieri were mobilized to keep the rival groups of supporters apart, but in some cases the opposing fans managed to come into contact on the stadium steps, where further clashes were reported, causing the second half to start late. Thousands of Atalanta fans who arrived in Brescia by train were escorted by law-enforcement officers from the station to the stadium, while supporters arriving by car and bus were stopped on the outskirts of Brescia and escorted to the “Rigamonti” on buses operated by the municipal services agency.
