Nikollë Lesi "The attack is linked to the elections" TIRANE - The "attack" on my house must be seen against the background of the upcoming parliamentary elections." This is how Nikollë Lesi, the director of "Koha Jonë", explained yesterday afternoon the explosion of an explosive device in his home in Lezhë. According to him, the motives are in no way personal: "In Lezhë I got along quite well and I had no quarrels," Lesi explains, speaking about pressures that have begun to be put on him on the eve of these elections.

Rare, but true BARI - Has a trial been opened against the rooster that disturbed the community? The noisy rooster risks being permanently taken away from its owner, appearing in mid-November before the judge because its crowing has broken the peace of many neighbors. The strange event has once again been taken up by the crime section of the police, which also includes the Bird Protection Association, which in an appeal asks the court "to have mercy on the irresponsible bird". The rooster risks being taken away from its beloved owners into internal exile abroad, or even the death penalty, and has for some time been cared for by the spouses Giulio and Maria Fiorentino, who keep it in their home in Palese, a place on the outskirts of Bari. The neighbors, the Savoia couple, have a bedroom adjacent to this yard, and their complaints say that the rooster "with its very loud song disturbed the peace of the night, and did so continuously". On this pretext, the Savoia couple have asked the court for the rooster’s removal and for their neighbors, the Fiorentino spouses, to pay the sum of 500,000 lire as compensation, which they will then donate to a charitable institution

Elbasan, 350 families leave the city They choose the capital and Western Waterworks ELBASAN - "Oh Tirana, my Europe". If there is no mistaking it, at least this is what over 350 families from the city of Elbasan have been feeling since 1995, leaving their city of origin and tradition to join the hundreds of thousands of residents of the capital, a very noisy influx coming from other districts of Albania. A wave of migration and internal population movement has also affected Elbasan. Even the good climate conditions of this region have not stopped members of the 350 Elbasan families - according to data from the city municipality’s civil registry office - from abandoning "the navel of Albania" to move to "its heart, Tirana." But Durrës and Vlora have also not "escaped" the new "refugees." Unemployment and lack of housing are some of the factors, but also the closer presence of Europe in the capital is decisive for this movement, which did not involve only the 30 km radius. This kind of movement is driven by circumstances, but also by the greater opportunities Tirana offers. Europe more than anywhere else has descended on the capital. A corner of Albania cannot be any of the cities except Tirana. It lacks the breath of freedom. Mentor Kikia
