From the USA: an ultimatum — order and corruption, otherwise not a single cent
Brussels report: The situation in Albania is very worrying
Clinton sends envoy Loy: Verify what is happening in Albania
After the cake, now the stick
The bowing in Tirana, with the sweets of the international factor, that made Majko smile, led the government spokesperson, a few minutes after meetings with the U.S. Deputy Foreign Minister, E. Jones, to promise that “action will be taken.” The lines that follow show how far those promises go.
Again, for the country’s high stature, the censored crisis government for the unstable stature now observed in the country. The Albanian ministers hang half-bent, shoulder to shoulder. Their faces are worn, and so is the Kosovo line. For seven years now, some offices and promises, and the style. Fine, ... those who spoke have seen the concern of the State Department chief for the unexplained and for the government and honest businesses. In any case, it seems it was not simply a matter of “move aside, push through, and make room” for the next round of the European Commission for Tirana. Meetings with their chief in the morning made them forget for a moment the need for a lightly sleepy, unfulfilled kind of patience. It is hard to say with certainty now what the contemptible stick will be. A mission is expected to take place at the end of the month. It will be led by the American ambassador in Tirana, Frowick, and the British lord, with three heads, as social examiners. As stated in the final paragraph of the possibility uncovered through this latest letter from the crisis center, shortly before the mission. Washington and Brussels will also remember that this miserable life cannot continue forever, through branch after branch of displays that put the line-up and business in the background. A complicated decision is expected from the Department and to be turned into an order, to tackle the troubles and make room for the foreigners of the European Commission. There is now talk of a hold-up in the European economy. To strike this government, which acts only minimally, with one “arrow” once and for all. That would be the way to open the door to reform and to lower the hand in order to free ourselves from the “burnings”? Not to mention the accidental de jure hand of Qefar Pasgjumit. If Majko promises, after the latest American meetings, not to remove order even at minimal levels, that would be the last exit through which the last government is left behind. Of loopholes and unblocking at the first word, of pretended corruption and of not being able to stand without it. That is how the “strong hand” of 1997 also complained, at the Council of Europe, with this kind of argument that “action is considered favorably and necessary to deal with this crisis, and that removing the police officer is justified in order to explain how long they still need, even if only a little, and in a different governmental formula.”
