PROTEST BY THE NEWSPAPER «KOHA JONË»
On Monday, at 3:00 p.m., we were denounced by the newspaper trials. The parliamentary commissioner for the press, TV and information, whom we asked for clarification, noted this angrily. The chairman of the Committee and the deputy, Mr. Sali Berisha, Mr. xh, the city and Corridor mayor, and in the evening, the teacher failed to finish regarding the deception of KKUO, and merely described the newspaper «Koha Jonë» as all kinds of unnamed news, in a masked and similar fashion!
As defamatory slander against this newspaper named «Koha jonë» was taking shape, we are obliged to explain the truth of this matter to the public fairly:
Albania has won the right of three entries which have been given for the blockade with tritë. The most widespread upheavals of Europe lately require, Chairman of the Committee of Shame, Chairman of the Assembly Committee for Information of the American Information Agency.
IS SIGURIMI INVOLVED IN THE KILLING OF ALBANIAN EMIGRANTS?
They killed him on Friday, at the end of the war in Croatia, they proceeded, while why were they silent? Meanwhile, others were calling me in the newsroom as well, believing that this was a provocation organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the former State Security. These claims, even though at first glance they seem shocking, cannot be left in silence. This is especially so if one considers that two of the murdered emigrants, according to the initial testimonies, had been either known collaborators of the state security organs or had some connection with them.
On the other hand, a number of other data match certain known scenarios of secret services, which aim to manipulate public opinion and create a climate of insecurity. In Albania there still exist forces that may have an interest in preparing such events in order to strike at democratic processes. Attempts to manipulate emigration have been ongoing, and this killing could be used to sow panic and hatred.
If the Italian state has knowledge of the circumstances of this act, it must ensure full transparency. The Albanian public rightly expects immediate and impartial clarification. This is especially true when we are dealing with Albanian victims on foreign soil, where the moral and political responsibility is great.
We state that so far we have received a great deal of information, but not enough to reach a final conclusion. However, silence and the lack of a serious investigation give weight to the suspicions. It is clear that if the real perpetrators and motives are not uncovered, the event will be used as propaganda by all sides.
Other testimonies have also reached the newsroom, according to which some of the victims had had ties to the former structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This circumstance makes a full verification of the event even more necessary. It cannot be ruled out that we are dealing with a deliberate operation to frighten Albanian emigrants and create tension between them and the Italian institutions.
How should state oversight be organized?
FOUR QUESTIONS FOR BUILDING THE STATE CONTROL COMMISSION ORGANISM
1 — THE INDEPENDENT PROCURATOR FROM THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE LAW
2 — HOW SHOULD YOU SEEK STATE CONTROL?
3 — WHO SHOULD BE THE SPECIALIST IN THIS TASK OF LOCAL CIVIC BODIES?
4 — SHOULD THE CHAIRMAN OF THE ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL BODIES BE A FINANCIER OR A LAWYER?
PRESIDENT: MR. NESTAQ FRANJA, DEPUTY MINISTER OF JUSTICE, WHO IS KNOWN AS ONE OF ALBANIA’S BEST-KNOWN LAWYERS.
We have dealt with this issue ever since receiving the concept drafted by the state commission on state control and balance. At first we thought of publishing the project prepared for this purpose without comment. Then it occurred to us that it would be better to also provide a possible analysis of the importance of state control and what model should be followed in Albania.
At the end of 1976, in UN Juris, a legal scientific journal, I published a piece on control in financial administration, also addressing the question of how state control should be organized. I believe that the article in question remains relevant today, because Albania is in a difficult period of transformation and needs strong, independent, and effective institutions.
In order to avoid excessive concentration of control in the hands of a body that could be used politically, I think it is necessary to clearly define the powers, the method of appointment and reporting, as well as the relations with the Assembly and the government. Control cannot be either a tool of the executive power or a formal mechanism with no real effect.

INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER,
AGENT OF IMPERIALISM
WHY SHOULD THIS NEWSPAPER BE RECOGNIZED? AND ON THIS MATTER THEY ARE IN LEZHË AT THE SPECIAL ASSEMBLY OF THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE.
After the end of the groups of the Committee meetings at the request of the chairman and the elders of the society killed on 32 Majis. Here, a group from the daredevils was sent to «Koha JONË» with a note. We spoke to him here about his August. Our Minister of Defence, Eduard [?], declared that not all people blame the current government for everything, and that, in order not to leave the matter without clarification, he had urgently sent a senior permanent officer to «Koha Jonë».
It was the first time that such a military man entered our newsroom. He introduced himself as a commander, but later it became clear that he had been assigned to persuade us to withdraw an article. Instead of arguments, labels such as «agent of imperialism» were used, recalling the old political language.
At the end of the conversation, he told us that the newspaper should understand the «national interest» and not touch figures who, according to him, had special merits. We rejected this logic and reiterated that the mission of a free press is to inform the public without fear.
