From Prishtina, the Democratic League leadership speaks The Serbs' reaction is now awaited TIRANA — (Ed.La.) - The hunger strike in Prishtina is continuing into its ninth day. There are 23 journalists and prominent figures in Albanian letters, such as Adem Demaçi and Ali Podrimja, protesting against the Serbian government's decision to shut down the press enterprise "Rilindja" entirely. The Serbian authorities — who are aware of this strike — have still given no clear signs of any positive action in favor of the strikers. "The KBS mission in Kosovo — of the Newspaper" from Prishtina, Rexhep Smajli, a member of the Presidency of the Democratic League, has given us a signal that something would move by today. The strike is taking place on the seventh floor of the Press Palace, where the offices of the newspaper "Zëri" are also located. "There are no visible police forces around the building — Smajli explains — because we have tried to be cautious. But we are not sure how much we can control this, since this event is connected with the feelings of the entire Kosovar people." The duration of this strike depends solely on the fulfillment of the demands — as Adem Demaçi himself has stated — and its aim is to prevent the publishing enterprise "Rilindja" and its agencies from being closed. The Serbian authorities have also sent a letter to the editors-in-chief of Albanian newspapers in Kosovo, ordering them to close their bank accounts. In these circumstances, Albanian intellectuals chose this form of protest. "We are dealing with prominent people who do not play games — Rexhep Smajli tells the "Newspaper" again — and who are determined to achieve their lofty goal." Health problems have also begun among the strike participants. "According to the doctors' report, Demaçi's condition has worsened, although the team of examining doctors is always close by him and the others," they report from Prishtina. Other participants have also had problems: in two or three cases, doctors have been forced to remove the sick from the strike because of their serious condition. Yet there have also been examples such as that of the writer Avdullah Konushevski, who refused the doctors' advice to end the strike. For now, our main concern is the strikers' health. strikers. ... the third of the Berlusconi era, and the second for Capello. From one victory to the next, the step is short and the celebrations begin again. But nevertheless, this is not the celebration Milan fans dreamed of; it is a joy cut in half by an organized Wednesday. At its center is Munich, the great disappointment: the dream of the European Cup, which fades under Marseille's blows, now turns into a deceptive lure when Boli's dark head scores a decisive goal. The desperate bitterness remains, but it cannot erase a wonderful season. The not-so-hidden slogan in the Milan dressing room is to console ourselves with triumph (the Italian Championship): it comes by sheer momentum, but had already been won in December. And that is worth a great deal, because in Italy it is difficult to win twice, and Milan managed to do so for the first time in its history. It is forbidden to speak of failure. And the farewell step of a team that ruled the game for five seasons, and played in nine European finals, and was never beaten, may be the same as that of the future. Rijkaard is leaving, perhaps tired of football that is very stressful and excessive, from which he has decided to escape. There is Gullit's uncertain situation. Uncertainties cloud the future, all stemming from the no-longer-young age of the Invincibles. The records achieved over two years remain: undefeated in the league, in the Cup. A two-year period that will be extraordinary, but for a concrete entrepreneurial commitment that pushes the same Albanian economy and lays the foundations for economic development and quality of life in our country. In the evening, a meeting with entrepreneurs at the Council. If they are important, the words will blossom. ... zimi came. There is no more room for undertakings, which were left behind by Parma; no more room for controversies that risked influencing the championship finals: absurd stories, a lack of attention by referees and advertising that seemed, in all seriousness, to be an extreme attempt to bring the champions closer. If things go this way, Dutch Milan closes as it began, with a success. In the new team, only Van Basten is the tulip that will survive: although his ankle is injured, he remains the number-one talent in world football, the player Capello cannot do without. Tomorrow draws to a close. On Sunday, the "red and black" team is Foggia, which is dreaming of the miracle of staying in this division without dropping to Serie B; Genoa, which snatches an important and decisive victory over Atalanta and is out of the struggle for survival; and the sporting drama of Fiorentina, a point of bitterness in the great sea of grief that has engulfed the city. One step away from Serie B. Torino's draw is almost worthless; Batistuta's goal does nothing but prolong the agony of a survival struggle that began earlier: there are now many incidents to be contested in the final phase of the championship in the hope of salvation. But in football, predictions do not exist. Or rather, they do exist, only to be overturned. "The defeat in Munich does not diminish Milan." "Second in Europe but first in our hearts," read two banners. As the teams entered the field, the entire lower section of the southern stands was covered by an immense banner unfurled like a giant sail: above it were caricature portraits of Milan players, and beside them the symbols and birth dates of the first two groups of Milan fans. "Yesterday, two people died: they were Francesco Rando, 50, a fisherman, and Diego Sequino, 20, both from Ischia. Rando died while being transported to the "Rizzoli" hospital in Lacco Ameno. Sequino died shortly before being admitted to Naples' Cardarelli hospital, where he was taken by helicopter. According to the initial investigation, the motorboat struck with its hull the race officials' buoy and one of the floating craft of the Emirati "Victory Team," marked with number 43 and piloted by the Arab Saeed As-Tayer and co-pilot Felix Serralles. The incident occurred on the fifth lap of the race, three miles from the port of Casamicciola. The Arab motorboat was in second position and was traveling at about 200 kilometers per hour when, for reasons still unknown, it struck head-on the jury's "C" buoy, on which, besides Rando and Sequino, three other people were also present.

One week early, it wins its thirteenth Championship A triumph, but with a very bitter taste FABRIZIO NITTI Four days after Munich in Bavaria, Milan celebrates its thirteenth title, the third of the Berlusconi era and the second for Capello. From one victory to the next, the step is short and the celebrations begin again. FABRIZIO NITTI Four days after Munich in Bavaria, Milan celebrates its thirteenth title, short and the celebrations begin again. But this is still joy cut short by an awkward dream of the European Cup, which faded under Marseille's blows, a decisive goal. The Milan team needed only one point against Brescia, squeezing out its final mental and physical reserves. The draw came. There is no more room for Inter's hopes, which Parma left behind; nor for the controversies that risked influencing the championship finals: absurd stories, inattention on the part of an extreme attempt to draw the champions closer. If things go this way, Dutch Milan's cycle closes as it began, Milan players celebrate immediately after the victory

An Albanian delegation visited the Apulian city From our newsroom BARLETTA — Cultural exchanges alongside economic ones. The mayors of the municipalities of Barletta and Durrës, Grimaçi and Golemi, signed an act of brotherhood as part of cooperation between the two countries. The meeting took place on the occasion of the inauguration of the Institute for the Growth and Development of Albania, for which a large delegation led by the Minister of Foreign Trade, Artan Hoxha, arrived from Barletta. Direct ties between Barletta and Albania are thus being strengthened ever further. Last August, the city had the honor of welcoming Albania’s Minister, Mr. Sali Berisha, during his visit to Apulia. This time, the foundations were laid for improving economic and cultural cooperation, giving priority to all the opportunities that can be created for both countries. The newly established organization undertakes to provide the necessary technical consultancy and to promote services for research into legislation, tax obligations, social security and the financing of businesses intending to undertake activities and initiatives across the sea. According to the visiting delegation, the existing opportunities for cooperation can surely lead to mutual advantage. “We do not need sentimentality,” said the Albanian representative for foreign exchanges, “but a concrete entrepreneurial commitment that will boost the Albanian economy and lay the foundations for economic development and a better meeting with entrepreneurs was held at the Council. If the words are significant, they will come to fruition. Meeting between the Mayor of Barletta and the Mayor of Durrës (the former on the right)

EUROPEAN COMMUNITY FINANCES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PRINTING HOUSE IN LEZHË — SMEA, a European Community organization that provides loans to small proprietors, has granted a loan of 15,700 dollars to the Association of Private Businesses in Lezhë to establish a printing house for a publishing company. The latter will print “Listan” and publish mainly works by authors from the Albanian tradition. CONCERN OVER THEFT OF STATE PROPERTY GROWS IN LAÇ — “The occupation of NB land is leading toward social conflicts”: this was the conclusion of the meeting held between staff of the Prosecutor's Office, the Public Order authorities, and managers of several NB enterprises in the district. Laç, a district with nearly 70,000 inhabitants, still has no court of its own, but only one judge who reports to Kruja. According to the consultation held, this is one of the reasons why theft of state property is not being fought sufficiently. IN BERAT, SEVERAL ENTERPRISES THAT HAD NOT PAID THEIR OBLIGATIONS ARE FINED BY THE FINANCIAL POLICE — The latest inspection conducted by the financial police of the Berat district found that many private and state enterprises had not paid turnover tax, profit tax, or social insurance contributions. The financial police fined several enterprises for these violations. Among them are: the Construction Materials Production Enterprise, the Battery Factory, and the private company “Lulishtari”. In the same city, the financial police seized a quantity of imported sausage that was found to be below acceptable sanitary standards. At the end of the operation, 190 kilograms of spoiled sausage were buried in Berat.
