PSD: Berisha should not sign the law
Gjinushi hopes for center alliances
The genocide law is a law about biographies
“While we are being ordered to carry out investigations by the prosecutor’s office, Article 3 of the anti-genocide law declares the guilty and the criminals without trial. According to the current Penal Code, crimes against humanity are punished by a maximum of 15 years in prison,” Skënder Gjinushi declared at yesterday’s press conference. So if proceedings are opened based on the logic and nomenclature of the Genocide law, the chairman of the PS Fatos Nano, the chairman of the PSD Skënder Gjinushi, the chairman of the PA Lufter Xhuveli and dozens of other politicians, in addition to losing the right to be elected until 2002, also have the road to prison cell open before them. Gjinushi calls on Berisha not to promulgate this unconstitutional law, while on the other hand he calls for “all opposition parties, from left to right, to defend the basic constitutional principles”

The USA did not lose a single predator in Bosnia
Pentagon reports are denied
All 4 spy planes are at the Gjadër airfield

The USA may not have been honest regarding the reports about the disappearance of spy aircraft over Bosnian airspace. Well-informed sources at the Gjadër airfield have confirmed the presence of the “Predators” in hangars built especially by the American team for the expensive aircraft. They are intact, the source specified, all 4 that began the operation in July. Only one is slightly damaged.
The USA brought 4 of the 10 “predator” aircraft in July; they were manufactured at high cost, for accurate information over the battlefield in Bosnia. Some time ago the Pentagon announced that two “Predators” had disappeared in Bosnia, after one was shot down by the Serbs and the other was forced by command to be destroyed. Later it was reported that a third “Predator” had also been lost. The Pentagon’s reports may have been conditioned by several factors, first of all the American interest in inflaming military pride and secondly the need to justify itself to NATO allies regarding the monopoly on information. A few weeks after the start of the operations, the French daily “Le Monde” expressed France’s concern that the USA uses the information only for itself, sidelining allies such as France, which has deployed thousands of soldiers in Bosnia under the UNPROFOR uniform. Initially, the operation of the unmanned “Predators” was supposed to last 60 days, but although time has passed, the “Predators” continue the mission. American team members, who were installed at Gjadër airfield before the arrival of the spy planes, are also visible at all times in Lezhë town and at reconnaissance points. Easily identifiable by military vehicles or by the military presence among civilians, the Americans seem satisfied with the continuation of the mission.
