NATO, Albania places its military air and naval bases at the disposal of the Atlantic Alliance Nano: Rinas, Gjadër and Kuçovë will host NATO planes Page 3 NATO, the last chance BY Blendi Fevziu Anonymous, Albania has opened the gates to see the coin of partnership with the spread of the conflict also in the south of the region. Yesterday, until late evening, there was still a memorandum being signed at the General Staff of the Armed Forces that would put an end to the most tense situation that was still being maintained in the region. Until late evening, the high-level American duo that arrived in Tirana yesterday had remained at the General Staff of the Armed Forces. General Wesley Clark, commander of NATO forces for all Europe, and the American general Crouch, advised by the American government that the Balkans, has given hope to the structures and forces of escalation in the region. First of all, in its mission, Albania has positioned itself first alongside its allies. It has offered its military geographic corps and has undertaken to become involved also in the new Macedonia. Perhaps it is also part of the plan, but at least it has been stated that the construction of this scheme would happen in connection with the Albanian government. Something very small like a response from an ally, but to the government in Tirana, probably of particular importance. The government and the high structures of the state apparatus have ordered these days the high authorities of the army and aviation to put the air structures and their bases on alert. At the high request of the allies and on the basis of the agreements signed between Tirana and Washington, the bases of Gjadër, Rinas and Kuçovë have been placed on full alert. The NATO planes have not yet arrived, but this could happen soon. In addition, the Albanian government has also declared that it considers its airspace open for NATO flights. Perhaps part of this agreement is temporary, but at least until last night in Tirana this was officially the situation. Foreign services, especially the American ones, have been extremely careful with the Albanian government. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, high-level military and diplomatic visits took place in Tirana. The Balkans, and especially Kosovo, are moving toward a point of no return. In Bosnia, the situation is still calm compared with what Kosovo could produce, but the American duo has made it clear that in the event of an outbreak of conflict in Kosovo, the allies will move very quickly. On the market, houses with infected water have also been advertised and put out for sale

A very common market where bottles of infected water are advertised and sold In one of the halls of the "Petrini" restaurant in the capital, I found myself amazed by the quantity of soft drinks advertised with the "Glina" label. I thought I had found the right opportunity to ask the general manager of the premises which factory produced that water. He, as is well known for his business service, immediately told me that they had supplied him the day before with 200 bottles, brought in by a vehicle with Shkodër plates. Later I learned that the "Glina" bottles did not come directly from the factory of this water, but from an organized counterfeiting network that has been operating for months in Tirana. "Glina" is one of the best-known mineral water brands on the Albanian market. Precisely because of this well-known name, counterfeiters have chosen it as a label to sell ordinary water, even contaminated water. A large part of the bottles are collected empty, rinsed superficially and filled with unsafe water. Then they are sealed with new caps and put on the market as original goods. This illegal activity not only deceives consumers, but seriously endangers public health. Market representatives say that in some cases health problems have been observed after consuming this water. However, inspections have been few and the distribution network has functioned almost untouched. Specialists are calling for immediate intervention by the inspectorates and the economic police to block the counterfeiters and protect consumers.
