Lake Shkodra, another episode of smuggling toward Montenegro
Fuel trafficking: police clamp down
50,000 liters and 2 tankers seized
Another blow against smuggling. Once again, Lake Shkodra is at the center of events, as the flow of oil and gasoline toward Montenegro has still not completely stopped. In recent days, a large shipment that was destined to travel in barrels aboard the many boats moving across the lake’s waters has fallen into a police trap. The 50,000 liters of diesel fuel were found in the village of Vrakë, near the border, and were destined for the Montenegrin market. This time, the Customs Police blocked the entire shipment and, after carrying out checks, ordered the seizure of all the fuel used for heating.

Godo: If the land sale law is not annulled
TIRANA - “We will call for elections within the year.” Sabri Godo, the leader of the Republicans, made this declaration yesterday at a press conference held at his headquarters. More than the passage of the law on the sale and purchase of land, it is the “fear” of its implementation that is now forcing the Republicans to prepare for early elections. Godo describes the electoral law as one concerning the media and of primary importance. He opposes the Anglo-Saxon majoritarian system but accepts a four-percent threshold for entering Parliament.

Cup: the top 3 pass the test
Tirana, Partizani and Dinamo
TIRANA - The three “big teams” from the capital have successfully passed the first official test of this football season. Tirana, Ballshi and Dinamo defeated teams from small towns in matches that seemed to many spectators like training games. For Memaliaj, Ballshi and Çërriku, the “adventure” was very short.
Here are the match results: “Tirana” - “Memaliaj”: 6 - 1; “Partizani” - “Ballshi”: 4 - 0; “Dinamo” - “Çërriku”: 4 - 0.
While the capital's teams, undisturbed and buoyed by the results of the first match, carried on, the staff of Bajko, coach of the national team, continued its efforts to complete preparations for the upcoming match with Montenegro. Just one day after Bajko announced the names that had been “hidden” on his list, the national team players began gathering at Hotel “Dajti”.
Erseka avoids “Teuta”
DURRËS - Disappointed faces at the Durrës stadium. Has the team representing the people of Durrës lost? No, the fans are simply disappointed because their team was able to play, but through no fault of its own.
- Disappointed faces at the Durrës stadium. Has the team representing the people of Durrës lost? No, the fans are simply disappointed because their team was able to play, but through no fault of its own.
The reason: Erseka's team did not arrive at the stadium. The “Teuta” footballers had nothing to do with it. Coach Koka ordered the team to prepare for training. The spectators had no choice but to leave the stands; some stayed, making do with watching their “idols” train.
