Zeqishti and Peçini in one pit
The large grave line of the dictatorship’s “enemies”
The unraveling of the mysteries continues. Only two days after the tragic and sensational news of the discovery of the bones of the former head of the Albanian Security Service, the families of two other “enemies” reveal the great secret: Llambi Ziçishti, former Minister of Health, and Llambi Peçini, the highest-ranking official of the Albanian Security Service, executed in 1983, are no longer listed as missing corpses for their families. Alerted almost at the same time as Hazbiu’s family, members of the Ziçishti and Peçini families discovered, hidden in the hills near Mount Dajti, the remains of their relatives in a mass grave.

INTERVIEW / The PS leader on the changes
"The Presidium had become unmanageable"
Pëllumbi: "Nano suggested it to us from prison"
TIRANE - "The PS Presidium, with 19 members, had become unmanageable. Nano had a p[?]e[?]ar in all the decisions taken by the party leadership; he was effectively the party chairman. The latest change was a refreshment of the party leadership with people from the grassroots. We had gone a long time without making changes, and it was in a normal process that does not need to be politicized. Nothing serious has happened; all those removed from the Presidium will continue to be members of the Steering Committee and will continue their work."
Pëllumbi, vice-chairman of the PS

When will the killer cars be stopped?
BERAT - Once again an accident, once again death, once again a thousand victims, and once again the cause is a car and the lack of enforcement. The press of accidents continues to keep tragic life in suspense; once again the distance of the road. Drivers who do not know how to drive, young people who step on the gas and on the road give life and leave streaks on the asphalt, are the scenes that increasingly fill the daily chronicles of life.
This time the victim of the wheels was an 8-year-old boy from Morava. Klodi Hata had just finished class, had left school, and only 50 meters from the yard he was knocked down outside the wall for good. A green "Opel" snatched the child’s body, twisting him severely. Seriously injured, Hata is lying on the asphalt, while the killer car speeds toward Ura Vajgurore. Justice is there; the police have been in pursuit, but have not managed to catch the perpetrator, although he has already been identified.
Little Hata is a hospital patient. As the people from Morava arrive, grief and panic from his school turn into horror and accusation. Will those books and notebooks scattered on the asphalt, expression of the interrupted dream, the scream of the voice stop the killer cars? The capture and punishment of the offenders are not enough to stop tragedies that continue to be the scourge of roads for killer vehicles. M.H.T.
From Albania, clandestine drugs
Operation on the coast of Puglia. 15 Albanians arrested
From Albania, clandestine drugs
One kilo of heroin on the speedboat from Vlora
LECCE - Drugs and clandestines in the Adriatic. Heroin has once again been discovered, this time one kilogram of high-quality heroin. Smugglers of illegal goods used the clandestines’ boats early yesterday to also transport the narcotic cargo intended for the Italian market. The operation, carried out yesterday in a lightning raid by the Carabinieri in the early hours of the morning, intercepted the heroin shipment on the vessel on which 15 Albanians, some Slavs and Rwandans had traveled throughout the night to reach the Puglian coast. On the speedboats of the Italian finance police, after a short chase, they blocked a motorboat on board of which 24 clandestines of various nationalities were found and seized one kilogram of pure heroin, hidden on board.

Workers on welfare, owners of enterprises
Within 25 October the registration of securities
TIRANE - Securities are raising the hopes of workers on welfare. Since yesterday everyone has been standing in line for the acceptance of 111 state enterprises, 20 of which have for several months been turned into joint-stock companies and are now waiting only for privatization. The decision was taken on Monday during the Government meeting and the Ministry of Finance summoned all the directors of these enterprises, who received the relevant instructions regarding these changes.

Seven days of thirst in the hospital
Gjirokastër
GJIROKASTER - The legend of water has reached even the operating room of the hospital of a city of around 20 thousand inhabitants. It is unbelievable, but just as true as the filing of the hospital’s doctors, who for seven days have anxiously awaited the sirens of the water-tanker trucks that might bring water. Works by a private company - in the hospital’s surroundings - have unintentionally caused a serious fault in the water-supply network, which now no one is willing to repair.

Albania will remain Germany’s favored partner
Economy Minister Shprangen reassures Tirana
TIRANE - Support for reforms in Albania. This is the essence of the visit of the German Minister for Economic Cooperation, Dieter Spranger, who has arrived in Albania. "Albania is an important factor of stability in the region, therefore we will continue to help it." This is what Spranger stated on the eve of his visit to our country: "Germany will contribute so that people have a future in their own country." The Minister went on to speak about the problem of Albanian refugees in Germany.
Being among the largest donors in terms of aid granted to Albania, Germany has, over 8 years, contributed a total of 240 million marks. For the German Minister, "the reforms carried out so far by the Government are promising, because many of us did not believe in Albania’s revival. Therefore we want to give it a signal of our support in the extremely difficult reform process it is undertaking."
The German Minister for the Economy’s latest visit is continuing with meetings and discussions between our two countries.
