Still a mystery over the face-to-face talks with Berisha The new government tower, whose construction began two years ago. The country still lacks a suitable building for the capital’s administrative offices. For days now, Albanian political circles have been talking about a reshuffle of the government led by Aleksandër Meksi. But since nothing is officially being disclosed, speculation is the substance of this discussion. According to the latest information from sources believed to be well informed, the current cabinet will undergo significant changes. The reason for this is not only the concerns of the governing coalition, but also the need for a more efficient government ahead of the elections. A new organization of the departments and ministries will bring several new names into the cabinet. Some of today’s ministers are expected to move to other posts, while others may leave. In any case, for now everything remains within the framework of face-to-face talks with President Berisha. No photo 3

Cold and warm water. Where one can fish and what. The number of places and the price of services for one week. On page 11 Vlora
