They are not necessary as long as, in the year 1991, it is said in the material written by 20–30 academics and professors, they are not subjected to the product of labor, to changes, but must be valued. Whereas in 1987–1991, they are with partial reforms. All this material serves to provide an overview of the economic situation and to identify the problems. 2. The gradual scaling of the so-called "Don't rush". This is the word; in the coming year it is clear. According to these, the key link is the liberalization of prices. No deviation from reforms is acceptable. Don't rush means: reducing the pace of reform and in many cases blocking it. This implies that state enterprises will continue to receive subsidies for losses. In the earlier period their activity was often based on the monopsony of the grain market, on administrative prices and on soft bank loans. These mechanisms can no longer hold. The liberalization of the grain market must be accompanied by the creation of exchanges, by a deposit system and by a more open commercial network. 3. The continued granting of land at a discount for agriculture. Ideas have also been put forward according to which land should be given below market price in order to preserve production. This would seriously damage competition and create unfair privileges. Land is a national asset and its treatment requires clear rules. Many of the proposals circulating today are not new. Some of them are variants of previously known policies that prolonged the crisis in the countries of Eastern Europe. This is especially true of vague subsidies, loans without collateral and the postponement of privatization. The main problem remains the creation of an environment in which private enterprise can develop freely, in which the investor feels secure and in which the state is limited to its basic functions: order, justice, education, health, infrastructure. The experience of countries that have carried out these reforms quickly shows that the first period is the most difficult, but also the most decisive. If time is lost, costs rise and the citizens' hopes fade. In this sense, parliamentary debate must be clear-minded, based on facts and not on nostalgia. The country needs a way out, not a step backward.

A sign of the stage is the time, gloomy and noisy, it proves. In the unfolding of the reservoir of uncertainty, it is impossible to say otherwise, given the state and the development of events. As always, the clearest explanations seem to be those demanded by the public. This year that has been especially acute. The rebirth of institutions, the re-creation of parliamentary life, the re-establishment of the infrastructure of local government, but also the exercise of the functions of a new opposition, have created opportunities for debates not only of principle but also loaded with allusions and misunderstandings. Behind this there are not a few interests and positions. Most of them are political in nature and are linked to the pace of reforms, their cost, and the consequences they have on different social groups. This is normal. But what is not normal is the deliberate clouding of the public, the presentation of every temporary difficulty as a catastrophe, as well as the dressing of actions that require time to bear fruit in dark motives. At a time when the country needs calm, trust, and concentration on work, everyone must take responsibility for public speech. The press, politics, the administration, intellectuals — everyone must avoid the language of fog. Democracy is not fed by hints and empty noise, but by argument, transparency, and patience. There are many issues that can and must be clarified: privatization, the role of the state, the place of trade unions, relations with property, with former owners, with investors, with the unemployed, with pensioners. But nothing is clarified by stoking panic. On the contrary, this creates new obstacles to reform. The Albanian citizen needs to know the truth, not be frightened by it. He must understand what the consequences of the transition are, but also where it is intended to go. Only in this way does the fog disperse and the common road become more visible.

-Interview with the Prime Minister, Mr. Aleksandër Meksi. The government of Fatos Nano. The beginnings, the first conclusions, are convincing in the free reform. In this long period, nevertheless, the state, honestly, must be made clear that privatization must move more wisely, but also at a pace. It was noted that there has been backsliding in some sectors and especially in the legal framework. For this reason, the government is preparing a new package of acts to give the economy room to breathe. Question: What are, Prime Minister, the most important causes? Answer: In my opinion, it is the fact that a complete legal framework is still missing and that many enterprises have been left in a waiting state. Without a clear law on bankruptcy, property, credit and taxes, capital does not move properly. Therefore, the government's work has focused on these gaps. Question: Do you think this will also affect foreign investment? Answer: Of course. The foreign investor seeks predictable rules. If there is uncertainty, he pulls back. We want to create conditions so that investments do not remain only a wish, but become concrete agreements, jobs and new technology. Question: And what about agriculture? Answer: Agriculture remains a strategic sector. It needs credit, market access, infrastructure and a price policy that does not harm the producer. We are working so that the farmer feels supported not by promises, but by fair rules. Question: What do you expect from parliament? Answer: We expect understanding and pace. Reforms are delayed whenever laws are dragged out. That is why I insist that we move faster in approving them.
