“The Prince”; Kosovo in Tirana today Aleksander Çipa The UN Administrator for Kosovo, Bernard Kouchner, arrives today in Tirana for a meeting with senior Albanian political figures. Along with him, the highest-ranking military representatives of KFOR will also arrive. Meanwhile, since last night our country has been under a general security alert. According to reserved sources close to the prime minister's office, the alert came as a result of information obtained from foreign embassies in Tirana. According to the same source, a structured criminal group has entered Albania, made up of those members who support Kosovo's independence and carry out activities such as international arms trafficking, criminal trafficking and mutual involvement in shadow businesses. For this reason, Kouchner's entourage is expected to be under very high security established by the Albanian side in coordination with KFOR in Albania and units of the Republican Guard. According to groups close to the US embassy in Tirana, senior government officials, institutions and diplomatic missions in Tirana will be under a high level of security. It is understood that during Kouchner's stay in Tirana there will be visible measures to protect senior Albanian figures, as well as the security of the foreign officials present. Meanwhile, the Albanian government has formalized the arrival in the country of high-level representatives of the international community from regional countries for today's meeting in Tirana. The meeting will take place with the participation of the main political and institutional figures of Kosovo, mainly to assess and analyze the situation created after the local elections and the latest developments in the region. Kouchner's visit and that of the other officials is seen as part of a broader consultation to coordinate positions regarding political processes in Kosovo and relations with Albania. Unofficial sources also speak of growing concern about the influence of criminal groups on political developments and efforts to destabilize the situation ahead of important meetings in Tirana. There has been some plagiarized growth that of Berisha [?] In response to security concerns, the Albanian authorities have intensified checks at the country's main entry and exit points and on the road routes connecting the airport with the capital. Also, according to initial information, special police and intelligence units have been engaged to monitor suspicious movements over the next 24 hours. The visit and meetings in Tirana are also expected to serve as a test of the ability of Albanian institutions to coordinate security issues and regional political developments with international partners. It is considered that today's meeting will be of particular importance for the progress of inter-Albanian political dialogue and for the coordination of policies regarding the international administration of Kosovo. The talks are also expected to cover institutional reconstruction, local elections, public order, and the role of international structures in Kosovo's transition. Bernard Kouchner's visit remains the day's main political event in Tirana, accompanied by strict security measures and high political expectations.
