The latest news and commentary explain the arrest of the oldest figure of the dictatorship in Albania. After the AFP report, one article states clearly and in definite terms that the former president was arrested calmly and of his own free will. However, public opinion's demands for the punishment of the corrupt have been strong. From the stances that have been highlighted so far, ministers are accused, and in a suspicious way that arrest was carried out without being accompanied by force. These things have led the public and foreign observers to ask whether the word arrest is true or merely a move to calm them down. He openly considers the arrest overdue. A few days earlier, Ramiz Alia had been in Korçë, invited to take part in various activities. According to testimony from city residents, he moved around freely and met people without any obstacle. Then, according to official announcements, he was arrested. This has raised many questions about how the act was carried out and whether it was a carefully planned legal process or an instant political compromise. In analyses of the foreign press, it has been noted that the arrest of the last figure of the communist regime in Albania has great symbolic significance. But just as important is the way that arrest is carried out and perceived by the public. If we are dealing with a mild, unjustified, or delayed action, then citizens' trust in justice remains incomplete. Meanwhile, some commentators emphasize that the international community will closely follow the next steps of the process.

As is well known, on Wednesday around 10:00 a.m. Mr. Sali Berisha frequented the "Çupi" club. After he came out, he got into a sky-blue Peugeot convertible [?]. The car's license plate is not clearly legible. Shortly after, he left toward the center. Our source says that Mr. Berisha was calm and accompanied by close associates. The reason for his stop at the café remains unclear, and it is not known whether it was a business meeting or a private visit. This small episode was noticed by passersby and has prompted many comments. In the conditions of a tense political climate, even such movements by high-ranking figures become the object of public scrutiny. The President told us he became an "enemy"? of the Democratic Party?!

During this week, the editorial office of "Koha Jonë" was visited by two different inspection teams. One group consisted of 20-21 delegates from the institutions, while the other represented other structures. According to the information gathered, such an inspection followed a series of critical articles published in the newspaper. It is further said that the checks also extended to administrative and financial documentation. The editorial staff has regarded this as unnecessary pressure on the free press. Its representatives state that there are no violations and that everything is in order. However, the atmosphere created shows that even under the conditions of the new pluralism, critical journalism remains under continuous scrutiny.
