Prefecture, lawsuit against the Tepelenë Municipal Council Municipality: We insist on the decision we made Prefecture, lawsuit against the Tepelenë Municipal Council The awarding of Fatos Nano ends up in court Municipality: We insist on the decision we made A lawsuit against the Tepelenë Municipal Council has arrived at the Tepelenë court following decision no. 21, dated 15 March, which declared the imprisoned socialist leader Fatos Nano an “Honorary Citizen” of Tepelenë. Nano’s award by the socialist municipality came like a bolt from the blue for the authorities. But today, after four days, it seems the frontal attack on the surprise decision is about to begin. The Tepelenë Municipality, through the Gjirokastër Prefecture to which it was subordinate, has received an order to suspend the award decision. According to this order, the Municipal Council based its decision on Law no. 572, article 14, point 19 on Local Government. page 3

After the meeting of PSD, PAD and PBDNJ Melo: There could be cooperation with both PS and PD After the meeting of PSD, PAD and PBDNJ Center pole - divergences emerge Melo: There could be cooperation with both PS and PD Imami and Melo have not agreed to confirm whether the basis of the Pole will be Gjinushi’s resolution or a new resolution. Accepting Gjinushi’s resolution would mean the Pole entering the elections in an electoral cooperation structure, in which the three parties would leave free areas for one another. But PAD and PBDNJ have still not made an official decision regarding this offer from the left-wing centrists. “Something can be corrected in the resolution,” Gjinushi admitted, without mentioning the stance of the two parties toward this resolution and “forgetting” the points that need to be corrected. page 4
