Stiliti Kotiçike on the eve of the elections: Commissioners and ballots are missing, delays throughout Albania Let us vote to save ourselves When on 29 June the first shadow of the left-wing parties begins, now the provisional government, the possibilities are facing a clear alternative with a historic chance for Albanians, through their vote to remove from power a ruling caste that has completely failed in Albanian history. For 7–8 years, in 1991–92, Albanians were promised salvation from the communist regime through the “rule of law,” but in reality only a new regime emerged.

Kaska [illegible word?] and [illegible word?]. The hopes of [illegible word?] are quite good because the Albanians who [illegible word?] this [illegible word?]. For [illegible word?] it should [illegible word?] to be [illegible word?] short [illegible word?] and [illegible word?].
