Alimuçaj must leave VEFA for good, as well as Cenaj, whereas for Kam- beri our tones are somewhat softer. The presence of Pullumb Shenaj is seen by the ad- ministrators of Deloitte & Touche as necessary for the creditors. As for Mustafa Leka, a job will be offered to him, in his cognac factory, as manager. On page 12

FROM THE PROPERTIES TIRANE - All the assets of the firms will be sold, but some of them will be sold sooner and others in a second period. The foreign administrators will manage and administer the properties considered profitable, while for the others they will try to find buyers. Everything that is in operation from the companies’ assets will be sold. For example, in the case of the VEFA company, the assessment is that all the ships will be sold within six months. The value of VEFA’s operating assets is 1 billion lek, while the value of those that are not operating is 2.5 billion lek. On page 12

It is not known whether from the Albanians there will be a counter-response for the five Albanians killed by Serb forces. But if this happens, then another Serb counter- response is also expected.

With the ministers PS turns its eyes to Shkodra TIRANE - PS is moving toward Shkodra. A team of socialist ministers will head tomorrow to the city that was burned and looted a few weeks ago. The decision was taken two days earlier during a meeting of the Party Presidency. "The situation should be looked at from afar and a quick solution should be found" was said at the meeting of the PS leaders. Arben Malaj, Arta Dade, Lush Për- pali and Legisi will be the socialist ministers who are expected to uncover the damage caused a week earlier in the northern city. On page 2

The decision soon PD will return to Parliament TIRANE - PD is expected to end its boycott of the Albanian legislature. "We hope the government will not close its doors to us," Genc Pollo, one of the highest-ranking Democrat leaders, told Gazeta Shqiptare. Ritvan Bode and Vili Minarolli, who a few months earlier had been against Parliament, were also there yesterday to enter Parlia- ment. "They have misunderstood us, we are not against Parliament," Bode and Minarolli told the newspaper yesterday. It seems that relations with the Presidency have changed after pressure from the international Committee. On page 3

In any case, with or without imagination, Saturday as a day off turned within five years into a sacred day for women, who, although not infrequently expressing themselves, albeit not officially, said that Saturday should be a workday, but only for their husbands. Five years later, Naro brings back the communist Saturday, ordering state administration offices to be open only five hours.
