On 26 November, 26-year-old Shefqet Pajo and Nuri Rapaj were killed at the border Q. Lame: Let the newspaper “RD” hand over the bodies Sefer Pajo: I will sue the killers, Ramiz Alia, the interior minister of that time, the Korça Internal Branch, the border director for 8 and a half months the bodies were not shown The father of Sefer Paja, a former officer, 58 years old, tells: On 26 November 1990, five years ago, the devil killed, with one hope, his only son. Death as hatred and as physical violence is a turn that echoes down to the despised cells, to hate, to condemn without limit, to hang savagely and in an inhuman way these killers, who today also come out and give interviews. 26-year-old killed at the border SHEFQET PAJO (Continues on page 2)

“We had also entered among the brothers of the democrats, at a purely symbolic price...175 dollars. Business is an easy profession and a pleasure. Politics is also easy....An Italian invites the Albanians to meet with their president. In any case, Scalione’s pocket did not remain empty...” - “ZP”, 10.11.1995 After the protest of the village-American Investment Fund, Dokle: “From an irresponsible insinuation of the newspaper “Zëri i Popullit” against the respected president of your Fund Mr. Scalione, someone draws the ‘conclusion’ that the PS is against this fund. This is absolutely not true. We now have a very liberal attitude toward the press, but I am sorry that in this particular case, this liberalization and lack of information has affected zoom “Scalione” (from the account of the Dokle-Graonoff meeting, ZP.15.11.1995) Can Dokle be believed? He can accuse ‘ZP’ even of other direct attacks against Western personalities, but that is what you call blaming the stomach?! Come on, and believe our socialists if you want.

11,000 families currently live in houses of former owners. With yesterday’s approval in parliament, for the homeless now only the housing investment scheme is no longer used; the potential of the free housing market is also being exploited. Homeless citizens, in relation to the priority lists drawn up, local government and the criteria laid down by the Council of Ministers, are directly granted rights, thus shortening the time needed to solve the housing issue for all these groups and for the state itself from the problems connected with new housing investments, as was said. There are over 40,000 homeless families throughout the country who will be helped by the state to finally solve the housing problem. This is made possible by the adoption of the law “on the state contribution for homeless families,” which was passed yesterday by the People’s Assembly. Among this group there are 7 [?] (Continues on page 2)

Being the most progressive factor in developments in Albania, the Institution of the President of the Republic, especially President Berisha, has drawn upon itself all the most backward attacks of the black horde, which the opposition has been announcing since the stage of politics and the alternative, where we single out the tribunals of face-screens, scribblers, secret agents of the underground of the ministries and chanceries with money from the Hoxhaist court and they curse the charismatic leader, who is hindering their mad egos of return DUKAGJIN HATA Among the vocabulary that made it possible for the wheel of freedom to find a bed in which to spill onto Albanian soil after the dictatorship, the political class, which took into its hands the fate of a country on the brink of existence, is undoubtedly an extraordinary factor. This is not only because this political class, this great force of Albanian progress, dismantled the bunker state of the dictatorship from its foundations, but above all because it oriented Albanian society, weakened by mainly other paths of Marxist experiments, away from hopes for another life and tried to create equal opportunities for Albanians in the challenges of freedom. Even the nihilists, who live with the hope of a return to the “old times,” the offspring of the Enverists, together with the Jagoes, rogues, charlatans, doubles, political prostitutes, cannot deny the decisive role of this factor, which has made possible and is making possible more and more the compensation for lost time, ever more worthy integration and democratic civilization. In this unequal challenge, which would pull Albania out of the abyss of collectivization and into the ideological metastases of Bolshevism in the spaces of freedom, a particularly undeniable role has been played and is being played by the last leader, the President of the Republic, Mr. Sali Berisha. In these five years, when Albania has had to tread on its own wounds in order to be reborn like the Phoenix, when the legacy of the political crime of the executioners, the cries of the defeated and the triumphant have more than once endangered the building of democracy, it has also tested the courage, determination and political consciousness of Dr. Berisha, who has not only maintained the political and social balances in the country, but has oriented the open Albanian society entirely toward progress, civilization and democratic prosperity.

Why did “ZP” keep silent about Kadare? Our great writer, the genius of letters Ismail Kadare, in his interview, sent others, clearly conveyed the message for Albanians: “The Socialists must not come to power” This time ZP excluded him, did not reply, did not object. Why? Two versions stand out: Kadare’s personality, and the fact that such pronouncements are increasingly being conveyed by well-known Western personalities. In any case, it cannot be believed that the newspaper of the Socialists shares this same opinion with the genius of Albanian letters Kadare. As for the writer, “ZP” chose another path yesterday. It compared the blow Kadare dealt to the dictatorship with his departure in ‘90, with the expulsion of citizen Brozi to the USA.

there is still a padding (tampon), a dividing wall, a filter.” Edhem Ruka, the PS man who replaced Dokle in the KE, counters: “I do not see anything from past practices.” Nor would his boss Gramoz Ruçi speak more openly in defense precisely of the past in the PS. Ruka, still not fully known to the public, regarding Kadare’s statement that even if the Socialists come to power “they cannot hold power for more than 1 year,” replies: “I do not know who made these analyses and forecasts, perhaps they were made by those who are afraid to lose power.” Poor Ethem, he measures Kadare with his own yardstick! Yesterday, the “silent” Ruka was ordered to answer Kadare in the newspaper “KJ”. To Kadare’s observation that “Between the Socialists and the dictatorship there are no differences,” that is, no overlap. While Hajdaraga, regarding Kadare’s interview, said “it was a very good misinterview.” The Socialists are more divided than ever.

“These days it was Brozi’s turn to make another turn. Although he made efforts to get out of the “claw”, he could not manage to be “only with his own mind”... the skeletons and the thugs kept him with the chairman of the Appeals Court, Mr. Martini... the fewer protagonists that eat under Albania with ZP 14.11.1995 “The former chairman of the Court of Cassation Mr. HIBA... in American support” ZP.15.11.1995 Naturally the question arises: who “organized” Brozi’s departure, the Albanian government (according to ZP of 14.) or the U.S. State Department (according to ZP of 15.)? Such absurdities lead to “black logic”

Yesterday, Kastriot Islami returned to Parliament, tripled as Kaçi i Zi. But yesterday Kaçi did not speak, did not make any other declaration about “breaking legs and dragging carcasses.” Yesterday he returned to Parliament but the man who calls for blood and bloodshed, the man who does not hesitate to call for illegal demonstrations, could not return to politics. Islami, it seems, will benefit from this legislature from the conveniences of being in Parliament.

The newspaper “Aleanca” will no longer carry the acronym: the newspaper of PAD, but will be called “independent.” In Boss’s irony will be Zogaj as well as some “unknowns.” The newspaper will be independent from the party and dependent on the Zogaj clan. It seems that Zogaj’s departure (supported by “KJ” and some friends like him in the districts) with him into PAD is well thought out. The questions raised after this decision are: how are the other two clans of Kesh and Imamiti experiencing Zogaj’s blow? Will Nikolle Lesi buy the shares of “Aleanca”? Is Zogaj really the “boss” or are he and “Aleanca” the focus of other bosses who run the newspaper of the leftist scrum? In any case the law makes the blow it had the effect within PAD

Deputy Prime Minister Dashamir Shehi commented to “RD”: The President’s decree is approved Despite the rise in the price of wheat and flour on European and international markets, the democratic government is in favor of maintaining the ceiling price of bread in our country. And precisely to achieve this, yesterday the People’s Assembly approved the decree of the President of the Republic, Mr. Sali Berisha, “On the removal of customs duty on cereals (wheat and wheat flour). Provision has also been made for the real protection of domestic cereal producers. For this reason, this decree expressly states that the removal of these customs taxes on these goods will apply only until 30 June of next year. This law undertakes to solve the better part of the housing problems. With its approval, homeless citizens are given the opportunity, through the subsidy provided by the state (of course, this subsidy will not be equal to the value of a full apartment), combined with a citizen loan from second-level banks, either to build houses and apartment blocks, or to remain as tenants for a relatively long time. So this year it has been made more realistic to help homeless citizens, that is, those who have held this status since December 1992, to get out of their difficult situation. This law replaces the existing law under which the citizen is obliged to wait for the construction carried out for this purpose by the National Housing Agency, opens up other alternatives, namely the purchase of housing together with capital from a group of citizens who can build a building, the purchase of land, or even long-term rental of a house (the latter is excluded from subsidies, which had been interrupted from being granted for what would be). It remains clear that the law is an integral part of implementing the PD program. As such, within the program in the field of the five problems, its approval would help solve the problem in time. Therefore, this law is very important in implementing this program. For criminal cases under investigation or on trial, the new Code of Criminal Procedure enters into force on 1 March 1996 For criminal cases that as of 1 August 1995 have been in the investigation phase or in court proceedings, either at first instance or on appeal, the period for the application of these articles of the new Code of Criminal Procedure was extended until 1 March 1996. This was decided yesterday by the People’s Assembly. Among the reasons presented by the specialists who supported this law for postponing the entry into force of the new Code of Criminal Procedure in this matter was also the fact that there are around 50 people who have committed serious crimes who would benefit from the entry into force of this law if this postponement were not made, deadline. KESH with more investments Yesterday’s decree of the President of the Republic, Mr. Sali Berisha, approved yesterday in Parliament, “On an amendment to the law on excise duties in the country,” gives KESH the opportunity to make investments in order to improve the energy supply in our country. The approval of this decree occurred that the internal financial disbursement for our minimal urgent need for essential secondary investments.

Referring to the chairman of the Republicans, Sabri Godo, the chairman of the Italian National Alliance, Gianfranco Fini, declared: “The Albanian Socialists have not renewed themselves and likewise do not inspire in Europe the same confidence that other socialist parties inspire, which have gone through the processes of Khrushchev and Gorbachev” ADARA
