BY MENTOR KIKIA Today, everyone acknowledges that the political situation in the country is tense, even aggressive. And this is not only because the DP regularly takes to “Skanderbeg” Square and holds unauthorized rallies calling for the government to resign. For nearly two years now, terrorist acts have been occurring just as regularly in various towns across the country. State institutions are burned, electricity pylons are blown up—the state has counted eight of them so far—banks are robbed, bridges destroyed, cars and buses stolen, and all sorts of similar crimes are committed. The first thing the state declares is that certain political forces are behind them, implying the DP. Berisha does the same after the car-bomb attack at the former VEFA supermarket. Without going into detail about what outcome one can expect from the judicial authorities after these political declarations, we must all be aware of one thing: the danger attributed to Albania after each such act grows greater by the day. And the DP is portrayed as an earthquake centered in “Skanderbeg” Square, with tremors reaching as far as Shkodër and Lazarat. Meanwhile, the consequence is that foreigners—those who had thought they might come and invest in some corner of this country—see each such act as heralding another revolution that could sweep away the Albanian government along with their assets. No one can say that these criminal acts have no political backing, just as we cannot accept this a priori. First, because no criminal or terrorist here has been arrested, brought to trial, and declared that they carried out an act on behalf of this or that party. Or at least, nothing of the sort has been proved indirectly. Second, no one has been arrested and, following an investigation, found to be an ordinary criminal or a lunatic who committed the act on behalf of “ujën.” So who is to blame? The state’s lack of strength and its inability to uncover crime mean that we end up managing political events, and the blame quickly returns to “Skanderbeg” Square and to Dan Everts. Meanwhile, foreigners stay away and wait with dignity for the day when these squares no longer echo with calls against the government and, consequently, when there are no more terrorist acts originating from and instigated by those who undertake them.

While experts have presented the first theory, according to which the electrical network caused the fire, another fact has come to light. Just two days before a sudden fire reduced to ashes one third of the largest foreign investment in Albania, the theft of 400,000 bottle caps and several parts of the machines used to wrap the bottle tops in the anti-counterfeiting cellophane used by the company to guard against counterfeit products was discovered in one of its warehouses.

Adolf Hitler and the peninsula still free within the continent These criminals, along with others, were responsible for the killings and acts of treachery in Kosovo. The macabre executions in March in Drenica, where there were many children among the many dead, make their identification easier. Thus, the challenge of capturing Arkan, alias Zhelko Raznjatoviç, one of the biggest criminals of Yugoslavia, who had used Bosnia as a field of operations and also needed Kosovo, has become a matter of prestige for the police forces of several European countries. His Croatian counterpart is Branimir Glavash. Page 32
