As early as the first days of the UN embargoes, smuggled weapons were passing through Albania. Joseph Limprecht, at the American embassy in Tirana, is said to have reported to Washington mentioning the names of corrupt politicians linked to the then Minister of Public Order. The gentlemen from the prime minister’s offices and the Ministry of Public Order will of course come out with banal interpretations of this fact, in which, on the one hand, the 'vendetta' gang is accused of being a 'manufacture of doubts', while the statesman Joseph Limprecht is blackmailed by our president to keep his hands off Kosovo and the anti-national craziness of Fatosdilli Moiku[n?]. The truth is that it would have been enough to read 'Tiranës nuk i duheshin armët' to save the warning notes from the Albanian 'gradoni', the Security organ in Albania. On one side the American ambassador and the Ministry of Public Order, on the other the conspiracies of others; Albanians simply laugh and turn the argument back at yesterday’s government over the lack of credibility of memory regarding smuggling. All this is done to hide cooperation with the armed forces of Kosovo. Much of it by Mr. Majko and Mr. Malajko and Mr. Metkohova and the gentleman himself in the government cabinet. Despite the positive explanations for the minister’s document, the move made by those detained does not correspond to those documents, because it is a 'cardboard' in the worst sense of the word. The only thing known is that the police of that period had excellent relations with the chiefs of the Kosovo police. Perhaps everything will be clarified, but we remain with the fact that today’s prime minister is the target of moral and material accusations, but he cannot remain silent about the others either. It is absurd to say that he did not know what was happening in the south of the country, especially when Albania was receiving hundreds and thousands of refugees from Kosovo every day. It is equally absurd to charge Mr. Hajin of the new office with the responsibility of denouncing without proof. Mr. Basha, did he not know at all what he was doing in the Service? Apparently, all this 'encouragement' moral and official was in the service of darkness. Page 7

Page 3 Tirana risks being shut down because of filth The government is not throwing money in the trash Just a few days before the municipal administration of the capital, its chairman, Eduard Kasoari, plans and wants it with new parameters? Oh now he has started doubling his zeal to do it for the garbage. But why has he now started doubling his zeal to do it for the streets? Just a few days before the municipal administration of the capital, its chairman, Eduard Kasoari [?]. Page 22

Tirana risks being shut down because of filth If Majko has signed the cancellation of the funds, the plan and the destruction of Tirana would be announced in turn, and in two ways could bring epidemics. The city hall alarm is only from yesterday, Page 22
