Dokle accuses Berisha

MPs raise their cards according to their sympathies and aversions. Recent history has taught Dokle this. That is why he denounces Berisha. page 3

Serreqi meets Papandreou

BSEC meeting concludes ATHENS/There were two intriguing moments at the Athens meeting: a gathering of the foreign ministers of countries affected by the embargo against the former Yugoslavia, and private meetings among the ministers. Greece took the initiative to sign a declaration addressed to the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council; the declaration was left open for other countries to sign if they wished. The declaration highlights the issues these countries have faced as a result of the embargo’s implementation and appeals for a political solution that would, in parallel, lead to the easing or lifting of sanctions. Eight countries signed the declaration: Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova. Albania’s Foreign Minister Serreqi said that his country considers the embargo a highly effective measure for the peaceful resolution of the Yugoslav crisis. He said that any position on easing or lifting the sanctions would have to take into account the resolution of the Kosovo issue as part of the former Yugoslav crisis. Serreqi supported the idea of appealing to the UN, through which the countries affected by the embargo would seek compensation for the major economic losses they had suffered, compensation estimated at 15 billion dollars. Serreqi held a joint meeting with his counterparts from Turkey and Russia. Serreqi invited his Russian counterpart Kozi[r]ev to visit Albania. Serreqi also had a brief conversation with Greece’s Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, who sat beside the Albanian minister at the dinner held in honor of the participants.
