Visitors at "Fiera" and nearby venues are searched A tip sets the giant security machine in motion Special units search everywhere for the enigmatic figure Visitors at "Fiera" and nearby venues are searched Prodi in Tirana, a difficult day [?] A tip sets the giant security machine in motion Special units search everywhere for the enigmatic figure According to an anonymous report, last night there was an alert about a possible attack during Romano Prodi's stay in Tirana. Large numbers of police and security service personnel checked the area where the delegation was expected to move. Attention focused on the visitors of the "Fiera" hotel and nearby venues, while a suspicious figure described as enigmatic was being sought. The Italian prime minister's movements were kept under heavy security. Sources said everything began with a tip about spying and a possible strike plan. No arrests are reported, but the checks continued until late in the night. Prodi's visit comes at a delicate time for Italian-Albanian relations and for the country's internal political situation.

The secrets of "Mrs. SHIK" The discovery of a military camp near the SHIK headquarters has been the place from which the secret dossiers, on the orders of director Valbona Meçe, were distributed to the kiosks. For this reason, many people in Tirana were surprised at how SHIK had managed to place so much material in kiosks in the middle of Tirana without being detected. It turned out that the kiosks had already received the dossiers. In this way, police checks were avoided. All Albanian politics seem to be caught up in a situation that is absurd, though not unusual. Usually, at the moment when someone finds himself before a court, or before public opinion, he spreads a great many papers. The same has happened with Valbona Meçe, the director of SHIK. Today her trial, begun by "Gazeta Shqiptare" and continued by public opinion, has become one of the most commented-on issues. In this case, it is said that hundreds of copies of material were distributed, speaking about relations with politics, with the secret services and with well-known people. SHIK, through a chain of people, acted in an organized way. The possibility is not excluded that this was also done to create confusion in public opinion. Meanwhile, people are waiting for the real trial and not the distribution of anonymous letters. Valbona Meçe [?]

Shpëtim Këlga [?] Once again, the danger is emerging that the country may slide back into chaos. Instead of order and calm, calls for agitation and ill-considered actions are appearing. Albania needs institutions that function, not political adventure. The situation calls for restraint, not propaganda. Citizens are tired of insecurity and endless conflicts. Anyone with public responsibility must think about stability. Otherwise, the cost will fall on ordinary people.

"A commission of its own", the accused defend themselves Former president Sali Berisha has called for scrutiny of the money of Aleksandër Meksi and Bashkim Shehu, in a political debate that has drawn attention.
