- ALFRED PEZA - When they killed, the journalists went wild and noted it then almost interruption and OSCE, while there were more than others. Searching insistently in the middle, with eyes turned toward him who plunged in order to take diplomatic, he did not understand that the scale of the crisis was Janat at the rein from what emerged then places for Albanians to work, the large scale that all of Albania sees in full, so that he perhaps meant the country’s own admiration. On 2 March, before this hour of the country, the Muslim intermediary of the government and order. He who urgently sent for an agreement between the government and armed people in several cities. At 3 o’clock on 3 March the meeting went broad and he had taken, total achievement. In these days the country and he had taken, total achievement. In the middle the government side and those armed in the south after several rounds of talks. He who was a step in which President Sali Berisha, who appeared on the screen, held. Earlier than he came he was lost in order to bring a situation of panic and escalation. In a change, the sentence that he would make left open the path to the crisis. A total irresponsibility of his, is also seen in that when he came, Berisha was trying to win through the loss of everything in the opposition. At first glance it may seem completely nonsensical. However, for anyone who looks with at least a little foresight from March 1997, it explains it all. Albania was not martyred only by the pyramid schemes but by great panic and insecurity caused by the absence of the state. And precisely when the state needed more than ever a measured and careful mediation, the international mediator behaved like a shaken spectator. Instead of trying to calm tempers, create bridges of trust and avoid civil confrontation, he often seemed to legitimize, with words and hesitation, the slide toward chaos. In one of the darkest moments for the country, 9 March remains not only a calendar date, but a symbol of a great political and international failure. The tragedy was not simply in the weapons in people’s hands, the opened depots, the seizure of cities or the bewildered crowds. The tragedy was the lack of clarity, the lack of responsibility and the lack of an authority that could speak in the name of stability. Therefore, 9 March was not simply another day of the crisis; it was the day when it was understood that Albania was being left to its own fate.

Yesterday secret meeting of seven parties on a common stance The heads of the Rrogë for leaving Albania Photo 6. Scandal The opposition may withdraw from the elections. Berisha’s signature has made the expectations of the broker delegation pass, as the parliamentarians are informed and invited. The PD, in a secret place, the leaders of the seven parties, starting with those of the government allies and the democratic federation, as it seems, will cross the threshold. In such a solution, which has been confirmed for the newspaper “Koha Jonë” by the leading member of the broker delegation himself, the former Swedish Foreign Minister Karl Tham, the representative of a major European mediator, the opposition part declares that the chairman of the PD, Sali Berisha, has made clear an unstable position and that withdrawal may be the only choice. While some of the allies, especially the republicans and social democrats, view withdrawal as a means of pressure, others think that minimal participation should be maintained. Yesterday’s meeting, held behind closed doors, lasted several hours and produced a draft common stance, which will also be presented today to Prime Minister Fino. Sources from the meeting say that the main issue remains the security of the process, the neutrality of the administration and Berisha’s renunciation of direct interference. According to the same sources, the opposition is preparing for all scenarios, including a partial or full boycott of the elections, if there are no new international guarantees. However, the final decision is expected to be taken only after today’s meeting and after consultations with the party bases.
