It may be called the "Reformed Socialist Party"
The request has been submitted to the Ministry
TIRANË - A faction in the Socialist Party? "We have also followed the filing of such a request." These words were confirmed by Servet Pëllumbi himself, vice-chairman of the P.S. The leader of the largest opposition party lets it be understood that another socialist party may be born: "PS e Reformuar" may soon be the name of the new Albanian political force.
Yesterday, during a PS conference, Pëllumbi and Doko also had the chance to present the alternatives in their electoral program. "An alliance before and after the elections with left-wing and centrist forces, social policy, recognition of the economy and approval of the Constitution" — these are the projects of this party if it takes power.

"Urgency" in the PR: Election Headquarters begins
TIRANË - "PR candidates will be depoliticized." That was the statement made by the Albanian Republicans at the meeting of the party's Steering Committee. Delegates from many districts of the country and members of the PR leadership formed the Central Election Headquarters, headed by Sabri Godo. Further rush toward the elections was caused by all the requests, the strict monitoring of the areas where voting will take place, the completion of the strategy and the illustrative presentation of the candidates — this is what was decided at yesterday's meeting of the PR Steering Committee.

"The embassies are being fortified"
Yesterday's works near Skënderbej Street
TIRANË - The foreign embassies in Tiranë are beginning to be "de-fortified". Yesterday morning, many people in Tiranë watched with curiosity as the entrance to Rruga "Skënderbej" had been occupied by hundreds of workers and, amid the greatest violation of foreign landscapes, was beginning to be freed from the heavy, high concrete structures. They had been put in place five years ago to prevent attempts by those who had decided to occupy the free road by seeking shelter with foreign diplomats. Since a heavy truck had smashed into the wall of the German Embassy, thus opening what later became known as the seasonal "embassy blockade," the heavy structures had become part of the capital's landscape.

Elbasan, a female 8th-grade student is raped[?]
After the complaint the police detain the aggressor
ELBASAN - Violence has once again shown itself in all its barbarity, specifically in the most absurd abuse against a minor girl. The latest case in Elbasan occurred a few days ago, around midday. This time the victim is even more tragic, a minor schoolgirl, a female 8th-grade student. The aggressor, who appears to still be free in the city, used violence against her, but this did not go unanswered, given the outrage and indignation caused by the news.
She had been on her way home together with a friend after finishing class when a car stopped beside them and a boy forcibly pulled her inside. After that — as the girl explained in her complaint to the police — she was kept until late afternoon in an apartment that the aggressor had at his disposal. Terrified, the girl informed her relatives and the search began.
The girl ended up receiving treatment at the hospital. He was later identified. She escaped with minor injuries.
The search for this tragedy continues as serious medical consequences are involved. The bitter end of this event is rape; but the most terrible thing[?]
