This is the answer given yesterday by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Aleksandër Meksi, during the meeting with the Legal Affairs Committee and with the Public Order, Defense and SHIK Committee.
Although the Prime Minister himself insisted that "this draft law does not mean opening the files, but only checks the background of official persons"

Assassination attempt against Enver Hoxha
Tito saved his life
In 1972, a plan to kill the dictator
UDB revealed to the Sigurimi the killer's name and preparations
TIRANA - Tito, Enver Hoxha's former benefactor, seems strange, but accounts published some time ago by a Serbian magazine consider it completely true. An Albanian political emigrant, Skënder Kupi, whom the sources that tell this story consider to have been a hired killer, was ready to kill Enver Hoxha. It was July 1972.

With the opening of the borders there will be no shortage of those who will attack the monopoly of illegal trafficking and the colossal profits secured from it. The people of Shkodër had not even imagined that for 1,253 days - and that is the exact length of the blockade - most of them would have been turning their cars' tanks into working order, or those who had more money would have bought tanker trucks in order to make millions by selling fuel throughout Albania.

A sacrifice at the foundations of the House of Culture
KAVAJË - In Kavajë, the House of Culture has “found” three onions, the workers. In this, they had been made and were to be emptied into its wall, where they were to be built.
The night before, old Kavajë had been struck. The building had begun to be constructed from what had been demolished by the Sovajast; the House of Culture. At the foundations of the new House of Culture, the president of the company “Uka” made a sacrifice; a 33-kilogram animal with, they say, "to ward off the evil eye, placing a spring at the foundation of the works".
