The parties sign the pact in Rome. The leftists promise to recognize the elections. PS: Forgive us our crimes A day earlier, Nano’s criminals tried to break up Berisha’s rally in Tropojë with weapons. On Saturday, the gangs of Kuç tortured the PD secretary, Leonard Demi. Berisha congratulates PD’s victory in Tropojë-Vau-Dejës-Koplik and Lezhë PS will not enjoy the gangs’ votes This, before departing, said President Berisha in response to a question asked by the citizens of Tropojë, who were escorting the gangs that were trying to kill him in order to seize the votes of the Tropojë villages. He said he was enjoying that unexpected moment, to take part in a rally, which, like the other rallies, would continue. “...Let us not leave them anything, just as we left them 29 million dollars earmarked and undistributed. In the 40 days they have been in government, they have taken 5.9 billion lek from the state treasury and taken it out of the system. They fill their own sacks and that is the real reason why they do not want the administration and the courts to function. Then they think that with machine guns and Kalashnikovs they can deceive the elections. We, however, are determined to win legitimately. Today’s rally proved that the PS cannot stop the wave of our victory,” he said. Evaluating the victory of 29 June with enthusiasm, President Berisha said that “although in Tirana most opposition commissioners have been killed, kidnapped and threatened, the elections of 29 June will be objective and will be conducted properly, which is also confirmed by the arrival of thousands of observers from Europe. This is the great guarantee that any manipulation will fail. In the end, the people decide, the free vote. Therefore the committees [q?] no one. The Central Election Commission is very determined and is making every effort to avoid any violence against voters and commissioners.” President Berisha was warmly greeted by the participants in his speech in Shkodër; he rejected the accusations of the socialists that the President was using his office to support his party and said that “In parliamentary countries the leader of any winning party becomes prime minister. Therefore no one can stop the head of the strongest force in this country from fighting for the victory of his political force. I am the head of the opposition and I am part of it. If the socialists want to stop this, they must kill me or arrest me. Otherwise, their government with the gangs cannot prevent the victory of the PD.” He twice accused the socialists and their gendarmes of being people linked to criminals who were doing everything possible to obstruct and disperse opposition voters. The many citizens shouted “Down with the communists,” “Down with the government of bandits.” The Rome pact, Nano washes his bloodstained hands 1. TOMAJ AND CO. IN THE CAMPAIGN OF THE PRESIDENT’S GANGS

The socialists signed yesterday the Rome agreement to convince Europe and the world that they accept the election results, while at the same time representatives of their government and of the police are doing everything so that the elections fail. The envoys of the European parties asked all parties to commit to accepting the election results. But precisely while the pact was being signed by the leaders of the governing coalition parties, dozens of vehicles with bandits and the police of the socialist commissioner, Shyti, had ambushed Berisha’s road from Bajram Curri to Qafë Morinë. In the capital, other gangs were attacking the Democratic Party election offices with weapons and grenades. By evening, the police directed by the socialist government had taken no action to catch the criminals or to rescue Leonard Demi, the secretary of the Democratic Party of Tirana, who had been taken hostage by the Kuç gang. In yesterday’s Rome agreement, the Democratic Party was represented by Tritan Shehu, Edi Paloka, Pjetër Arbnori, Blerim Çela, while the socialists were represented by Servet Pëllumbi, Kastriot Islami and Ylli Bufi. The agreement provides for all conditions for free elections, as well as the commitment of all parties to recognize the result. The document was also signed by representatives of the other opposition parties and those of the governing coalition.

President Berisha will not go to Frans Montanë Tonight, says President Berisha, it will be possible to pa[?]-la the number 6 - the cry of Albania and the Albanian people after the communist pa[?]bdllit, the proletariat with bandits and the r[?]lagjkd[?]ve under the strong/love of your humility will [f?]alqjderojnë with mention of this day . President Berisha, greeted Berisha will not go to Frans Montana in [p?] moments of the triumph of his own party. “I will remain in Albania and with the Albanians,” he said. This matches a statement he made in recent days, that he will spend the evening of 29 June with friends and family in Tirana. “If the victory in this area will be the [p?]rta, on this evening we will all celebrate in Tirana the victory of democracy and freedom.” From Shkodër, the President set off toward the city of Lezhë. He made his first stop in Bushat, where a large number of citizens came out to welcome him. With applause and the cries “Down with the communists,” “Down with the government of bandits,” “Berisha-Berisha,” the citizens of Bushat gave the President a magnificent reception. In his speech, Berisha said that the PD and its allies would receive Albania’s mandate on 29 June. “Respecting that mandate, we will form the government of national salvation.” He stressed that in the last three weeks the country has passed through complete anarchy. “The Socialist Party, helped by the committees of salvation, has managed to plunge the country into a true catastrophe. It dissolved the army and the police, replaced them with the committees, and is making every effort to alter the will of the people by force of arms. The socialists know very well that with a free vote they would never win. How much they care about Albania is expressed in the most perfect way by this fact. After turning the country into a true catastrophe, they try to mislead citizens by telling them that they will win. Democrats and all Albanian citizens know that they have buried every hope for their future and that of their children, and therefore on 29 June they will deal the most deserved blow.”
