"The houses are the argument of Sali Berisha's government" POUSSEAU It is not the first time that the dead forces, through the living, slander the dead among us under the spell of anti-communism. Even in the catastrophic collapse of governance, after the division of Albania, and amid the prolonged uncertainty over representation and responsibility, the increase in the country’s destruction and shrinking, and the ritual of class war and the alienation of national wealth under the government are handled with acts of madness, with demagogic malice and with complete irresponsibility. Although events during this period have first and foremost burdened the government, the opposition deputy, Mr. Sabri Godo, again and again returns to our houses, seeming to be driven by pity and fear over the inevitable question of property. He speaks in the same shameless language, which seeks to build a pseudo-history of reclaiming property, an argument for his own government, which instead of solving real crises deals with frightening fabrications, with slander against those who do not serve it. In this way there is no way to understand why the violent image of the opposition must be mentioned every time the government finds itself in deadlock. Returning to the black alibi of feeding the press with insinuations and inventions about the "communists" does not cover up the government's failure. The government has the responsibility to answer for its own actions. (Continues on page 2)

STATEMENT BY THE SPOKESPERSON OF PDSH The Albanian Democratic Party, through its spokesperson, strongly condemns the speculations in the Greek press and in anti-Albanian circles regarding PDSH’s position on the Kosovo issue. PDSH has been and remains a political force that defends the national rights of Albanians in the former Yugoslavia and, in particular, the Albanian people of Kosovo. PDSH considers the speculations about an alleged "change of position" to be politically motivated and aimed at damaging its image in the public opinion. SPOKESPERSON OF THE ALBANIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY

NOTE FROM THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLIC OF ALBANIA ALBANIAN TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY The MFA is offended by the language of the situation in the US, regarding the public statement of the Greek ambassador in our country on the Cham issue. The Greek ambassador in our country, Nikola Pazios [?], speaking on Saturday from the platform of the organization "Friendship Albania-Greece", again allowed himself to make unacceptable statements, in open contradiction with the status of foreign diplomats, by interfering in the internal affairs of our country. Regarding his statement about the so-called "Vorio-Epir", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Albania declares that such claims are entirely unfounded and condemnable. The Albanian government remains determined to defend the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the country. As for the Cham issue, it is a real historical and humanitarian problem that requires fair and civilized treatment. ATSH
