Berisha in the Glass Palace
Today he meets Ghali, the UN Secretary-General
New York, the final stage of the President’s American trip
Berisha arrived yesterday in New York, the final stage of his American trip. The Albanian President has arrived here with a voluminous “dossier” of issues to discuss together with Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Egyptian who “rules” in the UN’s Glass Palace. Among these issues are Kosovo’s autonomy, but also the protection of the rights of the Greek minority in Albania, relations with neighboring countries, and the economic and political development of a country that is emerging successfully from decades of oppression and isolation.

Two babies find a home
KRUJE - Lindi and Kristi wake the house. It sounds like the beginning of a fairytale, but in fact it is a sad story: the effort of two babies to win the first battle of their lives, the idea of experiencing a home. Now, after three months in the hospital, their full story has been published by Gazeta Shqiptare through several pages of the report “Autumn in the orphanage”. The Assembly awaits the little ones from Kruja there. Lindi and Kristi can no longer stay in the hospital, near the nurses who raised them for three months in a row as if they were their own children. Their life will begin again in the northern city.
The third child, handed over on the road by a friend from the Health Directorate, Lindi and Kristi were accompanied in a car that was taking them toward their new home.
- The baby, before, had been born in a sheet by a woman who had the courage to register the memory of the cradle. In fact, the young mother had been found by a very ill midwife with a rescued cradle. The nearby bond had been only the fruit of an unhappy love. The mother kept trying to show that apparently no memory of that bitter time remained; by then she had lost another life. Thus two babies were found united in a shared fate, who would normally be linked only by their birthplace. After the first months, efforts had begun to find them a place in a photograph of Durrës, but help had been found from several hands and eyes: “There is still no ...”, until finally two writers were found to be released also for Lindi and Kristi.
Now, the two babies and the solidarity of water have brought help to these orphaned, parentless children. Now comes the new home: a sleeping hive, longer and more welcoming than before, is given to the survivors.

Brozi replies to Arbnori
Controversy
TIRANE - From the judge of the electoral chamber, who has officially written to the Speaker of Parliament, “I inform you that the right ‘Motiv’, without words and Brozi’s written remarks for Arbnori, words for the President of Cassation are considered by him as the man opposite number 1 of the People’s Assembly. Only one day earlier Arbnori - he, the person responsible for Cassation - had reacted sharply against Brozi. The charged slander sought by the latter, according to Arbnori, was unacceptable, but not only that.

Cassation in constitutional court trial
Yesterday’s hearing, decision at an unspecified time
Minister of Justice Frashëri argues the Government’s accusation
TIRANE- The proceedings against Brozi are postponed. Yesterday, the Constitutional Court did not issue any decision against the leader of Cassation, but it concluded the judicial investigation of the Council of Ministers’ request. Numerous witnesses arrived at Albania’s Supreme Court. Minister of Justice Hektor Frashëri and representatives from all districts of the Republic defended the Government’s accusation against Brozi: “violation of the law by the President of the Cassation Court”, while Brozi himself did not appear in the courtroom.

USA maneuvers
"Peaceful Albania"
in Durrës
TIRANE- “Peaceful Albania”, as the hours and days after the agreement for the first ceasefire are called. It is clear that the entry of the forces into the city of Durrës will take place without obstacles, leaving [?,] together with the joint units, each with 150 soldiers, something that will take part in the presentation ceremony of the exercise.
Clearing minefields with today’s technologies and using modern weapons is once again one of the main objectives of the manoeuvre, according to what a senior American officer said yesterday on Albanian TV.
The suicide of the Italian agent: over a trafficking operation with Albania?
In Rome, an investigation is under way on an Albanian "lead"
The suicide of the Italian agent:
over a trafficking operation with Albania?
ROME - The Rome prosecutor’s office is investigating a trade in credit certificates between Italy and Albania. The same investigations are being carried out by Italian foreign secret services (SISMI) concerning the mysterious suicide of Commissioner Short. The financial investigation and the death of agent Mario Ferraro now seem to have uncovered common threads. Ferraro’s wife, Maria Antonietta Viali, had suspicions and was questioned yesterday morning by Rome prosecutor Nello Rossi, who, according to reports from the agency and the press, mentioned among other things a “suspicious” trade abroad (especially with Albania) in state-issued credit instruments. Prosecutor Rossi has effectively verified that there is indeed an investigation into this trafficking: it has been led for a year by another Roman investigator who just these days decided to start proceedings against several defendants.
Prosecutor Rossi has therefore decided to ask his colleague to check that file to verify whether - among the names recorded - there may be people linked to the Mario Ferraro case. It seems that it was Ferraro himself - who worked in Albania - who discovered this illegal trade and reported it. Prosecutor Rossi will also verify by what route the securities and credits were transferred and sent to Albania.
Ferraro’s death - whose body was found apparently hanging in the bathroom of his apartment in Rome - has caused many doubts and hypotheses, which are being worked on both by Italian investigators and by the secret services themselves.
Rare but true
BRINDISI - He is still hospitalized, with numerous burn injuries sustained during last Saturday’s terrible accident, but his health condition, previously lost. It happened to a man from Lezha, GJ. N., 37 years old, who now no longer needs the direct right to be found; one million lire, he said he had with him at the moment American soldiers saved him from death.
He was on a dinghy or at night, together with 28 other people. The members of the ship “Nicholas”, to give him first aid, cut one leg of his trousers, the very one which, according to what his brother says now, perhaps hid the large sum. “Who knows where the cut leg of the trousers ended up; could someone help me find it again?”, asks the man from Lezha in Italian to the nurses, who try to calm him down but cannot help him any more than that.
