Decision by the “Vefa” Company concerning its employee who was a victim TIRANA - Vera Dume is declared a martyr of the “Vefa” company, and her family will receive a lifetime pension. After two days of national mourning that have plunged Albania into grief, the powerful company—for which the 36-year-old had worked only briefly—has declared Dume one of its martyrs. For the second time, following the killing of another employee near the “Albania Today” exhibition—the courier, who was also the nephew of “Vefa’s” top executive—the company has taken it upon itself to declare someone a “martyr”. Meanwhile, a lifetime pension will be deposited into the Dume family’s account. On page 3 Grief and tears in the family of Vera Dume (photo: H.

“Get money by leaving items as collateral” Librazhd. Local authorities are preventing it from being set up LIBRAZHD - “Need some money for a while? Come to my shop and leave your valuables as collateral,” says a citizen from Librazhd. T’Disha, who tried to open the first “bank” of a rare kind, had collateral [?] worth around 13 thousand dollars; he had promised to set up a shop for the return of a shop [?] ... As for [?] bank as [?] ... Disha, in his bank-shop you could come up against any bank ... “Disha” would not have required documents. Anyone coming to withdraw money would leave an item as valuable collateral. According to the owner, his clients could leave household electrical appliances such as refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, etc. Valuable jewellery could also serve as security. As a result of this bank’s “business”, the value of the item left as collateral had to be greater than the amount of money withdrawn. After submitting the required applications, together with the interest, the client could also reclaim the item they had left. However, the local authorities have not allowed Disha’s idea to come to life. Elezi wants it These, too, can be left as collateral
