BY BLENDI FEYZIU A statement by Meidani has once again prompted calls at the political level for the leaders of the parties, but because of the attacks from the PS side, efforts to resume interparty dialogue have remained at the usual level of old coldness. According to sources close to the office of the chairman of the country’s main party, Fatos Nano, a political roundtable will be discussed, which is intended to set preliminary conditions for the resumption of interparty talks. He may agree in principle, but only if, before that, the positions of the opposition and the government are recognized as final. This political move, instead of seeking an immediate solution, further extends the cold climate that exists between the parliamentary forces. As things stand so far, bringing the sides to the table may be problematic because of the different interpretations by each side. The opposition in particular views any move of this kind with suspicion. Even if it is a proposal made by the head of state. Meanwhile, party chairmen are describing it as the right course and are saying that the resumption of the table is necessary, but not under conditions of a lukewarm statement. In this respect it is clear that the concern of the leaders is not so much to come forward with a clear political platform as to preserve their positions. Whether there will be a change in the positions of the political forces remains to be seen.
