Tenders and burned transformers THE GENERAL PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE: WHO PROVOKED THE DARKNESS AND PANIC FOR TWO DAYS IN ALBANIA Arjan Çani The General Prosecutor's Office continues to keep under investigation the criminal case against the central leaders of KESH, the institution that plunged Albania into darkness. Last week was marked by two days of blackout in the country and not only there. That was enough to strongly inflame passions in the top hierarchy of the Prosecutor's Office and the Judicial Police attached to it. Such a fact makes it quite difficult to predict how far the investigation into KESH, the republican institution, may go, which, according to the preliminary indictment, has never taken even the necessary measures to prevent the arrival of darkness. The accusations and suspicions against KESH come at a moment when light is sought on the loss of 100 percent of electric energy in the capital, but also in other cities in Albania. This happened immediately after the burning of the Fierza electrical substation. This event caused drastic power cuts and became a pretext for public panic. These initial data from the Prosecutor's Office indicate that KESH's decision to cut off the electricity supply was unjustified. According to investigators, there are suspicions that leaders of this institution acted with unjustifiable indifference. Moreover, according to them, there are also signs of negligence in relation to repair procedures and the management of the energy system. On the other hand, experts questioned by the prosecution body have expressed different opinions about the real causes of the transformer fire and its consequences. This is also the reason why documents, contracts, orders and administrative responsibilities are being gathered.

Andi Bejtja Meanwhile, as Italy has been caught in the most serious political crisis of these months, at the center of which lies the crisis of the D'Alema government and the left-wing majority of the OSE in Tirana, a fierce political debate is unfolding in the Italian media. This has also been widely reflected in the Albanian press. The clashes between political forces in Italy and the way they are affecting the region, according to the author, are also being reflected in the stance toward Albania. Neither in the past nor at present is there any sign that Italy will radically change its policy toward Albania; however, the climate created in Rome is such that it may affect bilateral relations. In conditions of intense political debate and harsh rivalries, especially between the right wing and the center-left, Albania is often used as a political and media reference. Continues on page 2
