NOW IT IS TIME TO GO BACK HOME
NOW IT IS TIME
TO GO BACK HOME
Thousands of Albanian citizens from Kosovo, which Belgrade has described as a province of Serbia but which is under UN administration, and which is in a serious economic situation, are leaving their homes every day.
This is nothing new. Since the fighting began in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, hundreds of thousands of refugees have been scattered across Europe. Among them were also Albanians from Kosovo, who had lost all faith in their own state and in the Yugoslav government.
In their homes in Kosovo, gunpowder had become cotton. Entire families saw a fierce war unfolding all around them. Threatened and unprotected, they left the country.
Today, after the major political changes in Albania, a natural question arises: should the Albanians of Kosovo continue to stay away, or is it time to return to their homes?
Many believe it is. Albania is no longer what it was yesterday. There is a government elected from the ballot box, a new democratic spirit, and hope that the closed borders of the mind are finally opening.
But returning is not only a matter of feeling. It requires security, work, shelter and, above all, the conviction that tomorrow will not be darker than today. For many Kosovar families this decision remains difficult.
If the Albanian state wants to help them, it must create concrete conditions, not just words. There must be clear policies for housing, employment and integration, so that return does not remain a sentimental appeal, but becomes a real possibility.
The time of fear must come to an end. The time of return must begin.
These will be the 100 days of glory and success or ... of failure
It seems that everything is immediately moving toward the government. The scene is beginning to take on its true shape. Two clear poles are crystallizing: on one side the new government and the opposition, on the other. In the middle, the public and the undecided are waiting with curiosity to see what will happen in these first days of the new administration.
Not only farmers, information offices and party offices, but also ordinary people are asking anxiously: will this government be able to pull the country out of the mire? Will it know how to establish order and restore lost trust?
The new policy requires not only words, but concrete decisions as well. The first 100 days will be the first real test. It is precisely during this period that it will become clear whether this new majority has the energy, vision and will to make tangible changes.
If these days are wasted in rhetoric and empty clashes, then the disappointment will be great. On the contrary, if it manages to set a pace, address the most urgent problems and communicate clearly with the public, then these 100 days may go down in history as the beginning of a new stage.
From this moment on, no one will have any more excuses. The government will be judged not by promises, but by results.
LIRIA HOLDING – OPEN DOSSIER
The decision to report the denunciations made against several Holding companies on TV is natural, especially when many people think that the branch of the market economy is being built on fraud and lack of transparency.
2 — Do words make us naked? Do we need to hide the names of the new organizations? Or should we ask that the public know what is happening?
1 — Is there a connection with public television? If so, is this connection a privilege or a responsibility?
This dossier raises several questions that require answers. At a time when many people feel insecure and the economy is going through a difficult transition, transparency remains the main condition for public trust.
In this issue, we raise questions related to names, institutions and relations that need to be clarified. This is not a preliminary judgment, but a call for clarity.
Citizens have the right to know.
POLICE CORDON AT THE FORMER PARTY SCHOOL

In the first comments of the day, there was talk of a police move near the former Party School. The event drew the attention of many citizens and raised many questions about the reasons for the presence of the security forces.
The clarifications given later aimed to reassure public opinion, stressing that the situation was under control and that there was no reason to panic. However, the fact that the former building of a symbolic institution of the previous regime was surrounded by police made the news take on special significance.
The event remains to be followed.
