Prime Minister Vujanoviç at the meeting with Meta: We will part ways with Serbia UNHCR and the Local Authorities of Shkodër begin preparations for refugees from Montenegro

ENKEL DEMI The two most gigantic achievements of Parliament before it betrayed the session with the Group of right-wing deputies, while threatening a full 60 cameras in words, which promised they would expose them publicly (they still do not), the superficial and generous people at the other end of the spectrum. Do not take this as irony, because (if you learn Albanian from the unit) the word is the most beautifully orientalized nickname, and the smell of chests with bigjeri is also the future alarm, perhaps even the living things of kuraf. If all these words provoke hundreds of familiar uproars, as well as the scoldings in the gray of virulence, the real tragedy, which so far has not entered into oppositionism, insults you head-on, and the diplomacy of the two governments. On the one hand there is no reason for any coloring, while from the terrace not a single political improvement is ordered. Meanwhile, the Italian government for Sali Berisha [sic?] on the other hand perhaps only the alarms from Tiranë are worth it for the Albanian Madani. The loud crowd with Madan's money has let loose their own and this month and the protests sent. At the back of the neck, yesterday and today, senior officials of the Italian and Albanian governments are holding meetings to examine further measures to increase the mass exodus. During Tuesday, the Italian Deputy Foreign Minister, Margaretta Boniver, is expected to travel to Tiranë, where she will meet with the highest Albanian officials. She will also be accompanied by a senior representative of the International Organization for Migration. Senior officials of the Italian and Albanian governments discussed yesterday in Tiranë ways in which the blocking of Albanians' passage from their country toward Italy will be carried out. They are thinking of blocking the sea with warships and peace ships that prevent rapid ways of departure. At least from the statements of the highest part, they are in half [sic?] of every and of that measure, as announced yesterday only the Italian officials in the talks held with a high-level Albanian delegation. According to them, the work will be carried out in Otranto. The lack of implementation that is caused by the proximity of Otranto is useless and possible. Albania will not do more than this in the future, but it seems that the visa of the holy places is starting to turn into a mobilizing slogan for dozens of Albanians for a new exodus toward the West. An entire government, the opposition with Christian Democrats and the one known for idiocies, has been put into the service of propaganda, which in the name of freedom and of standing against leaving by boat is stopping Tiranë and is changing every passport. Translated by the journalist of SKIF, this scandal reaches enough to drink [sic?] and read even the bill with half [sic?] four. However, the worst news for the government is that, however heavy the repression on the blocked official Tiranë may be, in particular the unprecedented danger comes into focus. From that Albanian Adriatic beyond the shores from Otranto [sic?] and the Adriatic with a group that while [sic?] Italian is fleeing death. As they say in the Gray of Vlorë, the tragedy is at the door. Page 5, 7

The conflict between the TOB artists and the administration escalates Page 16,17

The artists of the Theater of Opera and Ballet have declared a general strike on the second day, demanding a wage increase for all employees. According to them, the government (or someone acting on its orders) has firmly condemned it and, through measures by decision (or stoppage), has removed the director of the TOB, after the recent appointment of the former director, with whom they are still in conflict with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports. It also seems that the conflict has deepened the clashes, with the risk of the institution being closed and new administrators arriving. The participants in the strike have announced that they will continue their protest for an indefinite period. Page 27
