Along with repayment and each one of us is convinced that with necessity, Albania needs stability, security, peace. The Albanian people have made their decision and declare that they will not become barracks for any kind of anti-democratic force. "The rescue committees" are the offspring of an anti- Albanian and anti-modern party, which is trying to take the country 50 years back. Being as a specific resistance growth, he expresses the conviction that this party [d]in with pre- election features. Whoever wants peace and Albanians cannot join a cri- minal organization, from which nothing else can come but the destabilization of the country. All these are part of a horror scenario, for the realization of the polit- ical objectives of the extreme left, from which we have in mind only after [t]hese forces, just as in a position to terrorize the cities and govern. The state has been hit hard, but it has never been overthrown. For this reason too, law enforce- ment bodies and state structures are trying to do the best. We are raising local government on the basis of the law. In this way we are laying the foundations to put this situation in order, calm the country and hold free and fair elections". President Berisha said that in order to get out of the crisis and move toward recovery, we need work, national unity, rapid action in all fields. He added that he understands the pain of the people and their disappointment at having lost their normal savings, just as he understands the anger of workers and pensioners over the catastrophic collapse of the economy during these four months. "Without this great and unfortunate upheaval, we in Albania would be in a very favorable position and would take important steps to be in- teg[u]rated with [E]urope. Now we must gather again all our energies to overcome this difficult situation. The victory of the PD in these elections is the main key to successfully overcoming this situation, because it opens Albania's road to the West and Europe. Together we must achieve a great victory. I have the absolute conviction that each one of us will give all our energies in these elections for a secure victory. The victory of the PD will be a victory for all Albanians with 1996. The greater this victory, the faster reforms will be implemented and the closer Albania's integration into Europe will be". He invited Albanians to vote PD to ensure a calm and clear course of political developments. Together with all the pain that the government's latest resolution, which harmed everyone, must be heavy and current, because it is being withdrawn with much concern. For the first time, the country is taking this tail into a compromise with which no one can unite. This grave state of destabilization we are living through today and the pressures for disarmament after [?] our disorder and insecurity, it is necessary to vote for the PD so as not to [l]et the country slip back into chaos. We will solve the problem of savings with a real solution and not empty tricks. Clearly we will set things right and clarify this problem. The market, the economy, the order, has been completely destroyed, but not everything. This is simply an appeal to restore hope, calm among the people. These elections are historic if not the fate of our nation". SHP

The committees are taking over Ndajon mountain The Shkodër agreement also particularly exposed that change. That was exactly what the second half of February came to be- called. It was enough for them to make [p]rogram for the pre-election period, because they are making up for lost time. But there are also those who tried to brush aside another act. Their normal social[?]-[?], as well as some of the [c]onversations with unemployed people, were interrupted. All these [d]emonstrate with facts and [words] that their mission is to destabilize the country once and for all. In Shkodër, in order to exploit with arrogance the authority of the senior officials of the PS, [they] carried out an organized demonstration. After raising the slogan "Shkodër and [d]a barricades" they dispersed to block roads and create tension. Led by the high authorities of the "Committees of salvation" they have attacked the police and innocent citizens. In this attempt to seize the square by force, they left no means unused, setting up [b]arricades and burning tires. Vehicles, offices, and even private homes were attacked. Likewise, many young people were pushed to commit actions that endanger their life and future. These actions constitute an open attack on the constitutional order. Nanos has been reminded that, just as these supposedly calm people in government cannot go far with a policy of pressure, he is trying to reap some electoral gain from this situation.

Sharp problems in the National Council of Balli Branch of the Communist Party of Tirana and deputy, Nuder Delanës is opposed by the Coalition of 1 thousand The news reports these days about the split in Balli Kombëtar have left no room to make clear that this political force has been affected by a general weakening. The information coming from its National Council [s]how that the blow is strong. Some members and leaders of this force consider it unacceptable the stance of chairman Abaz Ermenji, who according to them continues to follow the communists' instructions. At the meeting of the National Council of Balli there were very harsh debates. A part of the members demanded that this force review its policy and not become a tool of the left. According to critics, Ermenji made decisions without consultation and seriously damaged the interests of Balli. Another major problem has been the inclusion of people close to the Communist Party on the electoral lists. This has been seen as a serious violation of the principles of this political force. In this context, the name of Nuder Delianës[?] is also mentioned, proposed by the Coalition of 1 thousand. The debate is expected to deepen further in the coming days, while it remains to be seen how this situation will affect the upcoming elections. (Continues on page 2)

We are hearing that the situation is developing in a way that is clarifying the position of some left-wing parties. Aware of the damage they are doing to the country, certain circles are inclined to fuel the climate of insecurity. This is most evident in the actions of the so-called rescue committees. BK believes that free and fair elections are the only way out of the crisis. Therefore we call on all political forces to distance themselves from violence and destabilizing acts. We also demand that state bodies take measures to protect citizens and guarantee order. (Continues on page 2)

Cliri declares: Albania cannot be violated The German Foreign Ministry sent a press statement on Monday in Berlin, according to which the German Deputy Foreign Minister, Werner Hoyer, declared after a joint press conference with the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Albania, Tritan Shehu, that in the severe extraordinary crisis our country is going through, the concern of some states regarding the territorial integrity of Albania is nonsensical and baseless. "There is no international danger for Albania in this regard. There is only a need for help and the restoration of order". He said that the European community must help Albania quickly in this difficult time and emphasized that elections must be held on the scheduled date. Hoyer also praised the role of Albanian institutions in overcoming the crisis. ON PAGE 3 Tino distorts Kinkel
