Hunting banned in the Lake hills Tiranë, two people are stopped while hunting with an unlicensed weapon TIRANË - A pleasant walk in the Lake hills can suddenly turn into a dangerous adventure. In principle, this is not [fakti?] for hunters of [unreadable] who would like to find [unreadable] and rest for a few moments [unreadable]. The capital is, for [hunters?], the site of an [event?] that actually happened the day before yesterday in Tiranë, where two people were stopped by the police station of order while they were hunting, [hunting?] in a place that is certainly far away, quiet and rich in game, tomorrow forever with hares and other birds, of course. The two hunters, ["]qafaman"], were caught by the capital's police officers in the usual way in those parts while they were enjoying shooting in the forest of the Artificial Lake. Caught by surprise, the two hunters were forced to surrender their "field" weapons - a single-barrel shotgun and a double-barrel, both without permits. Thus, the offense of hunting in an inappropriate place was added to that of "carrying weapons without a permit." They were both taken to the police station, but later they refused release. They will be sent on Monday to the offices of Justice to answer the questions that will determine their future. This whole story would probably have passed completely unnoticed if there had not been a [trok?] of the impossibility of today's time to enjoy nature. The gunshots sparked protests; in this story they had been hunting and perhaps found some game reserve. In that way neither their companions nor they themselves would enjoy it, nor would the evenings, such as the last one.

Genc’s play will be staged today TIRANË - Xhepa's flu has canceled the performance. Meanwhile, as Hungarian President Arpad Genc had arrived in Albania and his honor was scheduled to see his play "Xhepat" staged, Ndriçim Xhepa's illness has effectively blocked the performance. It had been scheduled for yesterday at lunchtime and the presence of leading personalities had postponed the event to today. "Yesterday I informed my friends and the organizers" - Ndriçim Xhepa told Gazeta Shqiptare last night over the phone - "it was impossible for me to go on stage, and even more so in front of the author of the play himself, the Hungarian President. I hope I will be better. If the flu continues with the same symptoms, then tomorrow's date will also be discussed". Only a few weeks ago, the play "Hekurat" had been performed by the actors of the National Theatre. For many, it had been greatly appreciated by spectators and had "stolen" most of the acclaim from its lead actor Ndriçim Xhepa.
