This summer, the Amphitheatre, having been defeated for the preventive structure, for the very country of Albania with mixed opinions of geostrategy Fatos ÇOÇOLI Less than six months and only 16 days have passed since the first arrival of NATO representatives in our country, to be stationed in Albania and set up the coalition headquarters because of the Serbian attacks on the Albanians of Kosovo. This event, of particular historical importance for our country, with a completely new burden of security and prestige on the shoulders of the President, with a reputation until yesterday relatively anonymous of Pashkoqit ndjej? conditions on the side? of your democracy and to send? Sali Berisha has dragged us up to now into a very difficult and irresponsible situation in terms of security. Now he has clearly brought the absurdity of the question: why could this prestige not be exploited at all and perhaps freed from the armies, and certainly not only with the strange appointments and transfers to a periphery? This question weighs like a blow and like a direct accusation, with the final consequence of NATO recordings/ the secret zone of the country with surprise that were meant to result and bypassing not only the international plot, but also the ministers of the government and its close leaders.

This is even more evident now in light of the government’s accusations about Paskojan? that have come to light, compared with suspicions about the transfer of assets, with the Kosovo tragedy it reached its peak as a blow and shared responsibility.

Now from what is appearing before the eyes and the broad opinion of the public, it seems that the matter is more than a case and goes beyond the usual limit of abuse, but how can this be distinguished when it resembles the loss of power and humane direction? for today and for the decade. Everywhere in the country? where can such a setting and so few? be imagined are such mistakes directed? We already had hints from the end of June, both with the humanitarian shipment, as well as with the circulation of dollars and then with the presence of NATO and the progress it gave to the future of this country. Our press, meanwhile, has long been on its side? bringing this problem to the attention of public opinion, made known by official statements and various justifications of AMU? of the Alliance, with the government involved or pushed as well. In fact, clear too appears a subtext? that there have been signs for many weeks here. Continued on page 2
