Albania, like Europe too, will be made by the Democratic Parties Question: Mr. Broka, you chaired the PD delegation at the 11th Congress of European People’s Parties. What were the key points that marked this congress? Answer: The congress had as its main purpose the preparation of an international conference on the unification of Europe, a conference that will be held in 1996. The congress chose the path toward integration into the EC, toward a united Europe. Its main motto was “Liberated Europe made by democratic and socialist parties have no moral right to take it with them; that right belongs only to democratic parties.” Question: Was the choice of Madrid for the holding of this congress also linked to the current Spanish electoral political context? Answer: I think so. In Spain the socialist elections are currently living through the crisis of holding power, and the holding of the proceedings of this congress in Madrid sought to show Europe that socialism must receive a big “no” in Spain as in Greece, where it is in power. This was openly visible when political figures such as Jacques Santer, Wilfried Martens or Klaus Kinkel addressed the chairman of the Spanish People’s Party with “Mr. Prime Minister”, clearly implying his undisputed victory in the elections. Question: Albanian social-communists, grouping PS, PSD, and others in their election campaign, are trumpeting the victory of socialism in Eastern Europe and, as their preferred green light, how would you comment on this? Answer: And Albania, like Europe, has been and will be made by democratic parties. And within this framework, the social-communists have no moral right to take it from them. Socialism has won in two or three Eastern countries, this is true, but compared with those two or three countries, Albanian communism was far harsher and one cannot compare them at all with the Eastern countries, given the failure of the Albanian communists. Europe also supports, as in this congress, the holding of power by democrats. These two phrases that I mentioned are highly significant regarding the claims of the Albanian social- communists to take power. To add to this, one can say that present-day Albania tests itself as part of the laboratory of Western Europe and not of Eastern Europe, because when we promised our electorate “We will make Albania like all of Europe” we had in mind Western Europe. Question: This congress gave you political support and the main leaders of the EUCD. Did they open up any possibility on their part for support of democratic parties in personal campaigns? Answer: All personalities of the EPP and EUCD declared their full support for democratic parties in the countries of the former communist camp, so that in no way should they go over to the socialists or former communists in power.

The German Minister for Economic Cooperation to “Deutsche Welle” radio “There is no better alternative than the reformist policy pursued so far” The German Minister for Economic Cooperation to “Deutsche Welle” radio Shpranger: If Albania does change course... I am not in favor of German aid continuing “There is no better alternative than the reformist policy pursued so far” “If Albania were to be pushed again into a planned economy, if dictatorship were to be established again, or if the old communist recipes were pulled out of the drawers, then I would not be in favor of this aid continuing.” “In Albania there are a remarkable set of positive developments, if one compares life and the country’s structures with 1992,” said the German minister for Economic Cooperation Karl Dieter Shpranger, in a visit to the Deutsche Welle radio in Cologne, reports Deutsche Welle in its Albanian-language program. During the visit he made to this radio, Mr. Shpranger spoke about Germany’s cooperation with developing countries. When asked about the political and economic developments in Albania after a visit he made in October of this year to that country, Mr. Shpranger said: I do not think that in just a few years, naturally also with the help of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, such an economic rise can be achieved. He expressed his satisfaction with the fact that the Germans, with 240 million marks approved as aid for Albania, had been able to make an important contribution to the reformist policy of President Berisha and his government. Mr. Shpranger said he hopes that Albania will continue its course, which is unavoidable. “The people have been shown patience and the politicians must have it,” he stressed. Mr. Shpranger assessed that “there is no better alternative than the reformist policy pursued so far”. Mr. Shpranger made German aid conditional on the Albanian government’s steps to improve the living standard of the Albanian people. He stressed that “if Albania were to be pushed after all back into a planned economy, if dictatorship were to be reimposed, or if the old recipes of communism were taken out of the drawers, then I would not be in favor of this aid continuing”. As for the question of Kosovo, in the plans for former Yugoslavia, he expressed the view that “Germany is in favor of a form of autonomy for Kosovo”.

The request to be present in the Socialist International is rejected A heavy blow to the PS The request to be present in the Socialist International is rejected The Albanian PS, after 54 years of being one and the same with the “most discredited”, after attempts to “lose” its existence in the political life of the country, asked to go and represent itself, as a kind of Albania and a broader Europe. But its adventure has come to an end. The shocking statements of some personalities from international politics, who consider the return of the PS to power a catastrophe, were only a strong slap for the leaders of the PS, but the strongest slaps they are receiving every day from the European left, which they declare they belong to. Despite continuous efforts to put one foot into left-wing activities in Europe, the Albanian socialists remain outside the door. After Berlin and Lisbon, Moscow too. In the former center of communism, where the Socialist International is holding its work, the PS leaders again failed to get even a foot in. Their request merely to be present (without any status) was completely ignored, thus giving them another “renewal” and another hard slap. Nothing is by chance. European politics is careful when speaking about parties that practice political violence. It is more than attentive to the strength of parties that seek to become part of these political giants. Within them are drawn the projects for the new century, and from a political carcass nothing is expected, except a sure servant of evil. The Albanian socialists could not be one and the same in the Socialist International as well as in the demonstrations of extremists for the Bolshevik Revolution. They are too far apart in time, in space, in life, in concepts from one another. THE EUROPEAN LEFT CANNOT ACCEPT THEM: - who call themselves socialists - whose leaders keep criminals in office - who have a program that is not close to that of the European PS - who have no internal party democracy - who eliminate reformers and intellectuals - who still have not condemned the past - who have risen again against international bodies such as NATO and who fight the West. Therefore today, as unacceptable in the countries of the unacceptable and for the European left, the head of the Albanian socialists has no choice but to look on with desire and pleasure, and to continue stubbornly their path of “continue until failure” IBRAH

Present were a member of the Presidency of PDSH, Mr. Ylli Vejsiu, as well as the Head of the PDSH Branch in Durrës, Mr. Ferdinand Xhaferi. At this meeting, first to speak was Mr. Ferdinand Xhaferi, who explained the reasons for the abandonment of PAD by around two hundred of its members as a blatant violation of the internal democracy of this political force by its main leaders. In addition, he added that, despite the fact that PD took on the leadership and governance of the country at the time of the great crisis, now everyone’s life is a great deal better than four years ago. However, he concluded, today’s gathering proves that PD, for the time being, is the most progressive political force of Albanian society, is the bearer, the embodiment, and the realization of the ideals of December, unlike (Continues on page 8) DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE 92 [?]

“Albania has achieved a historic victory” Declared the Deputy Chairman of the PS, Luan Hajdaraga “How do you consider Albania’s integration into Euro-Atlantic structures? Was it for you,” asks the newspaper “Albania” to the Deputy Chairman of the PS, Luan Hajdaraga, in its issue of 8 November, to which he gives this answer: “It is a reality that over these four years Albania has taken important steps forward toward integration into Euro-Atlantic structures, and when I say Albania, I mean that these are historic victories and achievements of Albania, which must be consolidated. With this I would say that this integration is not only achieved now, in case it is de facto and de jure, but also through the realization of many agreements and other acts, which will enable an even better economic integration of Albania.

US Ambassador, Mr. J. Lake, Rebuts the Newspaper “Koha Jone” In a letter that the US Ambassador, Mr. Joseph Lek, directs to Mr. Aleksander Frangaj, editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Koha Jone”, he states: “A number of articles in your newspaper, in recent weeks, have dealt with the activities of the American Embassy and some of its employees. Some of these articles have been tendentious, inaccurate, and highly misleading. In particular, the article of 2 November in “Koha Jone” titled “American Diplomats Dine with the Opposition” contained many inaccuracies. It mentioned only one of five members and served, with many other written pieces, with falsehoods about this conversation. As you have been advised in the past, I ask you and your journalists to verify the articles before publishing them, by contacting my public affairs officer, Charles Walsh. It is the duty of some officials of this embassy (and, likewise, of other embassies) to analyze political and economic issues related to Albania. It remains perfectly normal for these diplomats to keep contacts with people of the political forces. I recommend that you do not allow such meetings to lead you into false and imaginary speculations, when it comes to the “American opposition” in Albanian politics. If you have any questions or concerns about these views of ours on this matter, please contact us. Charles Walsh for further clarifications. Prepared by UKZENEL BUÇPAPAJ
