Near Durrës and Shengjin, the American marines are fighting This is how the UCK lives in Albania Among the people who seek to liberate Kosovo, nearly 40 NATO bombers for Milosevic The missions begin of the downed pilot while being photographed, Pashaliman TIRANË SHEHU The silence of the two boys wearing sports clothes, as they hurry past on the “hospital road” near the village of Rrushkull, gives you no reason to think of anything. But those figures that suddenly appear there ignite another imagination. People whose names nobody knows and who, in a few hours, may be in an American army camp. Or even farther away. Perhaps in northern Albania. At the gate of the runway, two military vehicles with foreign license plates move at low speed. One enters the marines’ camp. The other keeps going. A little farther on, over the sea, the silhouette of the “Apache” helicopter can be seen. Beyond the wire fences, in a closed-off territory, soldiers in dark uniforms are moving. Here, near Durrës and Shëngjin, a new map of the war in the Balkans is being built. With Kosovo at the center. With the UÇK as a presence felt everywhere, yet almost unseen. With NATO bringing planes, marines and a long wait for a confrontation that everyone knows is approaching. Read on page 10 The NATO bomber 8-ra takes off for missions in Albania (Photo: ANSA)

The mysterious story of the downed pilot while being photographed, Pashaliman The Italian spy gets lost in the sky of Sigurimi TIRANE - Would he return to Italy, together with the photos of Subeksit’s eastern plan, or does he say he was sent from Kie? The leap with the plane before departing for Puglia? “If you have a head, you lose your eyes,” were the words of the Italian’s driver as he accompanied him. But what purpose did the arrival in Albania of “Bashkim T.” and “Paul” have? Who helped them with the aircraft shot down by SHIK? Why were they followed on the embassy phones? In this story that seems to have no end, the American magazine “Air Forces Monthly” also appears to be in favor of the “pilot”; it was to publish the first exclusive article on Albanian fighter aircraft. Meanwhile, read on page 10 about the new testimonies from Pashaliman and the official explanations about the downed pilot TRIANA [?] - [text partly illegible] The NATO bomber 8-ra takes off for missions in Albania (Photo: ANSA)
