Shkodër A Croat held at a police station for four months -He had fled the war front in Bosnia -His family thought he had been killed in the war The story of a Croat arrested four months ago in the village of Velipojë, in the district of Shkodër, is an interesting one. The odyssey of Jure Çikesh, a Croatian national, includes his escape from the war front and four difficult months in the cells of the Shkodër police station. A missing man, believed dead by his family and friends; a deserter from the epic battles at the front; a spy, according to the authorities at the Shkodër Police Station. These were the conjectures about J. during those four difficult months. It all began at the beginning of June, when Jure Çikesh, determined to [??] his military service, left the war front in Bosnia. He escaped along the Dalmatian coast, crossed the border, and entered the village of Velipojë. Alone, abandoned, without any help or identity documents, he went to a house in the village and received support from a villager from Velipojë. But this support would not last long, because the Shkodër police, well informed of the Croatian citizen’s presence, detained him on the suspicion that he might be a highly trained spy. For four months in a row, he was investigated at the Shkodër Police Station over the possibility that he was a spy. But he never made it to trial, because he had fled the war front to save his life, not for any other purpose. Thus, on October 16, at 10 o’clock, the police station authorities released him and told him to report to the station again at 2 p.m. that day. At that time, he set off for Tirana accompanied by a police station employee, who left him outside the Croatian Embassy. But that was not the end of the story. “At the embassy they didn’t believe me because I didn’t have any identity documents with me,” Mr. Çikesh told Koha Jonë. Once again abandoned on the streets of Tirana, he was helped by a chance meeting with a citizen of Shkodër. The latter took him to his home in Shkodër. Together, they went to the Franciscan Church, where they received help from a Croatian priest. There he managed to contact his family by telephone. His family had thought he was dead in the war, but after all this time learned that he was in Albania, in the well-known city of Shkodër. The Croatian Embassy in Tirana was also informed, and it is now helping him return to his homeland. The citizen from Shkodër who had taken him in accompanied him on the afternoon of October 19 as far as Durrës, where he left Albania for good by ferry, bringing this four-month-long story to an end.
