The OSCE panorama and the post-war meeting for the creation of the international liberal system. Given that we follow with particular concern the debates held around security and developments in Europe, we express our conviction that only a new democratic and cooperative order can guarantee peace and long-term stability. Within this framework, the conference of Balkan countries and regional countries takes on special importance. This conference aims to become a forum for dialogue, for the peaceful resolution of disagreements, and for building bridges of economic, political, and cultural cooperation among peoples. Albania strongly supports such an initiative, believing that regional stability cannot be imposed from outside, but must be built by the Balkan countries themselves, in accordance with the principles of equality, mutual respect, and international law. In the conditions in which the former Yugoslavia is experiencing its violent disintegration, and when entire peoples, including the Albanians in Kosovo, are exposed to insecurity and repression, every regional initiative must place at its center the protection of human rights and national minorities. The conference should serve as an alerting and preventive mechanism, encouraging understanding, trust, and coordination among the governments of the region. Its success will depend on the political will of the participants and on the broad involvement of public opinion in support of a safer and more united Europe. (ATSH)

THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT AND THE MARKET ECONOMY FACING UNITY The people of Albania will never tolerate ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and any kind of terror or other terrible acts of terror and violence. It is approaching, this time by placing us to think, in the distinction between whether to dawn on what is possible, but systematically organized and completed enslavement of Albanians as a distinct ethnicity, whether by annexation or by assimilation, denying their past. In this path, what is most alarming is the fact that not only have the wild, unpredictable outbursts of barbarity proven to be possible, but also that something new, potentially very dangerous, has begun to happen: the legitimization of barbarity by part of public opinion and of the Serbian high राजनीति. Instead of social or political condemnation, crimes against other peoples are either approved or at least justified and treated as permissible instruments of politics. While there is broad talk about the rights of communities, about the freedom of nations and peoples to determine their own destinies, the Albanians of Kosovo are denied the most basic right: the right to live freely on their own land. This great contradiction of our time, now emerging at the heart of Europe, is also proof that lasting peace cannot be built on historical injustice and on the subjugation of an entire people. In Albania, the democratic government has made it clear that its orientation toward the market economy cannot be separated from the national and moral responsibility for the fate of Albanians in Kosovo. A free economy also requires a free society, responsible institutions, and a policy that protects fundamental human rights. These principles cannot be confined within state borders when national dignity itself is being violated. Therefore, the Albanian government has the duty to raise its voice in every international forum, to seek the intervention of the world democratic opinion, and to support by all peaceful means the right of the Albanians of Kosovo to freedom, equality, and self-determination. This is not only a matter of national solidarity, but also a test of our own democratic maturity. ENVER ROBELLI

TIRANA Today, President of the Republic Sali Berisha continued yesterday his tour of visits to parliaments, by meeting with the President of the National Assembly of France, Philippe Séguin.[?] TIRANA, Aleksandër Meksi, head of the Albanian delegation in the three-party talks on the former Yugoslavia in Geneva, declared last night that Mr. Boutros Ghali, Secretary-General of the United Nations, had sent a letter to the chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, in which he thanks him for the decision of the Government of Albania to accept the deployment of peacekeeping forces on the Albanian-Serbian border. In this letter, Mr. Boutros Ghali expresses his belief that the decision of official Tirana will contribute to reducing tension in the region and to creating a more favorable climate for the peaceful resolution of the Yugoslav crisis. For his part, President Berisha stressed that Albania is interested in regional stability and in avoiding any escalation of the conflict. He also underlined that the deployment of peacekeeping troops in Macedonia should serve as a preventive measure against the spread of war and not as a substitute for the political समाधान of national issues in the former Yugoslavia.

Angel of democracy or son of dictatorship? He, Ramiz Alia... Angel of democracy or son of dictatorship?? After other set designers, who had declared that that man is been treated as a "reformer," the Swiss newspaper "Le Nouveau Quotidien" also came out with a piece about Ramiz Alia, stating that he was the man who tried to open the system and avoid confrontation. But the facts of recent years show that behind this soft image hid the direct heir of a repressive regime. Under his leadership, the state apparatus of the dictatorship did not break apart, but tried to survive with new forms and altered rhetoric. For those who have experienced prisons, internments, censorship and isolation, the myth of the "reformer" is an insult to historical memory. Ramiz Alia was not the angel of democracy, but the product of a system that had for decades supported the denial of freedom and fundamental rights. Therefore any attempt to present him as the savior of Albania is not only incorrect, but also politically dangerous, because it relativizes the responsibilities of the dictatorship and hinders an honest confrontation with the past. INSTEAD OF A FALSE SAVIOR, ALBANIA NEEDS THE TRUTH. ENVER ROBELLI
