Exchange dealers: "The cause is the super-interest rates on deposits" Elections / Today the Steering Council meets Socialists in the mirror: Is the "big clash" coming? TIRANA - "The high values of the American dollar and the German mark have fallen sharply, thus setting the value of the Albanian currency ever higher. Today the exchange rate for one German mark has dropped to 65 lek. Meanwhile, one American dollar is exchanged for 87 lek. These values are unknown in the country's currency market, which above all represent a new feature in its direction. This happens as a result of the new kind of interest rates for deposits in lek", exchange dealers tell "Gazeta Shqiptare". Tirana - On Monday from 5 p.m. the Steering Council of the Socialist Party will meet at the party headquarters.

The suspect, for revenge motives, shot the victim with a firearm. The police managed to identify the perpetrator after witnesses identified him. "There were fingerprints at the scene.
