Does the USA protest against Tirana?
"The embargo is broken: smuggling to Serbia"
The prestigious American daily "Washington Post" devoted an article yesterday to smuggling from Albania to Yugoslavia. SAM officials: "Yes, the phenomenon exists but it is monitored"[?]
"New York Times" warns of an official note from the Clinton administration.
TIRANE - Does the "forbidden"[?] of the Serbian communist regime's embargo shift the responsibility onto the Albanian government and the administration of Sali Berisha? At least from this angle the article in the prestigious newspaper "Washington Post" analyzes it. It refers to an article published the day before yesterday by Mr. R. 2, which criticizes the way the Albanian government is enforcing the international embargo against Belgrade. Albania categorically denies any involvement in the smuggling affair, according to the American daily.
The article mentions evidence of smuggling through the port of Durrës and road links with the former Yugoslavia, raising doubts about the effectiveness of state control. According to the article, such phenomena have also been observed by Western observers.
At the same time, the Albanian authorities have stated that the border is monitored, that transports are checked, and that cases of violations are isolated. Sources cited by the newspaper speak of American concern regarding the impact this issue may have on bilateral relations.
The text on the page is partially unreadable in the left column; however, the words "Yes, the phenomenon exists but it is monitored" and references to SAM, Washington, and Tirana are clearly visible.
