A few days earlier he had been summoned to testify about the circumstances of the events of “2 April” and the military coup at the United School”. At the same time, many complaints have reached the former president over the killings at the border For three months, the Tirana Prosecutor’s Office has been investigating the military coup at the United School, to which Alia is accused of having a direct link. It was MP Abdi Baleta, one of the main witnesses of the February '91 event, who in an interview given some time ago to Gazeta Shqiptare accused Ramiz Alia of being directly responsible for the '91 coup.

LEZHË- Words of blood. They have now become like something from the past in Toroviç. Men and children finally turn the cross toward the isolated towers, while the name of the 25-year-old victim, Bardhok Cena, bears the wound left by the grief of his mother. This is the end of a centuries-old wound of blood feuds that had entangled the people of Lezha. It was perhaps the greatest killing event in the “two hearths”. Lin Dena was twelve years old when he killed the young Cena. Both families are from Puka, but for years they have lived in this area. After this long period of anxiety for the Dema family, it was the victim’s mother and his brothers alone who, rising above the pain and filling the strength of their hearts with hatred for the bloodstained tradition, decided to forgive the blood of the killer. A gesture that would be supported by all the inhabitants. A sad smile, but one that is a small spark of hope for reconciliation, there are people hiding behind the iron-crossed windows of the “locked” towers, and perhaps waiting for the opening of a new grave; there are also many children who, on the threshold of life, feel the dark threat and, for them, even more than the fear of death. The claws of deadly absurdity have stretched so far that they abandon schools and games, to protect life, leaving only those condemned to death who have... J.R.

Delegation arrives from Strasbourg European socialists: “We are concerned about Nano” “We will also talk about anti-genocide” TIRANA- “We asked to meet Mr. Nano, but the Albanian minister of justice prevented us, arguing that he is not a political prisoner.” These are Jean François Vallin’s views, expressed in an exclusive interview for the newspaper, when asked about the arrival of one of the missions from the delegation of the European Socialist Party in Albania. They held their first meeting at the presidency of the British PSD [?]. Today, the Democratic Party and the Socialist Party are the other stops the delegation from Strasbourg will make.

Shkodër traders in the Montenegrin police district Mass seizures on Lake Shkodër SHKODER - The scene of goods being seized by Montenegrin police is repeated. In recent days a new wave of thefts has been organized on the shore of Lake Shkodër. Dozens of boats coming from the Albanian shore have been stopped and then taken by the police of the neighboring state.

Italian authorities impose conditions for stopping in Bari “Ada Air” sends out an S.O.S. From 1 February, flights at risk TIRANE - S.O.S for the airline agency "Ada Air". It risks closure tomorrow; the Italian Foreign Ministry does not tolerate guides for announcing flight schedules from Bari airport. The danger posed by intermediaries has led the Italian authorities to take this drastic decision. But such a measure seems unacceptable to the representatives of "Ada Air", whose flights to Bari are [?] all. "If such a thing is applied, we will be forced to shut down." On page 3

In Mati, 2 elderly people over 100 years old have defied death A centenarian married couple The old man has regularly drunk alcohol and smoked BURREL- Perhaps two elderly people from Burrel will register a new achievement in the long list of Guinness records, that of marital longevity. The couple Preng Gjoni and Gjela Pjetër Gjini from the village of Rreth-Baz in the Mati region have defied death. Their age has now passed a century - they are 106 and 102 years old respectively - which has surprised even doctors. Therefore, from his cradle, he confirms the birth dates of his parents by producing as evidence the records made a century ago in the church’s baptism and burial registers. What is surprising is the fact that the elderly Gjeti has smoked a pipe throughout his life - a fact quite unappealing to ecologists, but one that has developed the damaged part caused by tobacco - and drank little alcohol. This recipe, surprisingly, seems to have prolonged his life, although he is not able to see or hear. But his centenarian wife, Gjela, continues to enjoy good health. It is a rare case, not only in the Mati district, but also in Albania. There are more examples and other curiosities in the world.
