Government: Kosovar refugees must be stopped Government: “Kosovar refugees must be stopped” ... [?] In the last 10 days, the experience of the “Contact” mission in Kosovo has brought hundreds of tons of aid for the Albanian residents affected by the war. The aid has been distributed mainly in the border areas and in Tropojë, where a large part of the Kosovar refugees has concentrated. According to the organizers of this mission, during the last few days alone, over 100 tons of food, clothing and medicines have been transported. This aid has been provided by various donors and distributed in cooperation with local structures. On the other hand, according to sources cited in the article, the government has ordered that the entry of additional Kosovar refugees be stopped. This stance has been considered unacceptable by the aid organizers and by opposition representatives. They stress that the refugee flow is a direct consequence of the Serbian offensive in Kosovo and that Albania cannot close its borders to Albanians fleeing the war. In this context, the “Contact” mission is presented as one of the most concrete humanitarian initiatives for dealing with the difficult situation in the border areas. The article emphasizes that aid will continue in the coming days and that greater institutional commitment is needed to address the humanitarian crisis.

The relationship between the Albanian and Italian governments? focuses? with the Italian government? for authority? in Albanian customs... [?] ... relations between Albanian and Italian institutions have experienced a marked cooling. This assessment has also been reached by circles close to the government in Rome. The reason for this cooling has been explained by several problems created in some sectors, where Albanian-Italian cooperation has not progressed as anticipated so far. These problems have recently been encountered especially in the economic field. This has to do first of all with the way some of the cooperation agreements signed between the Albanian and Italian governments are being implemented. According to diplomatic sources, one of the main concerns has been the tender that the Albanian authorities held for the customs scanner. According to these sources, the Albanian Ministry of Finance had officially stated to the Italian side that the tender would be conducted in accordance with the agreement reached with the Italian government. However, the subsequent development of this issue shows that this procedure was not respected. Also according to these sources, the Ministry of Finance not only has withdrawn? another procedure, but has also favored another firm in contradiction with the agreement previously reached. This move has been seen by the Italian side as a sign of mistrust and a lack of correctness in bilateral relations. Diplomatic circles in Tirana have also noted that in recent months there has been greater reserve from the Italian side regarding certain cooperation projects with Albania. This reserve is linked precisely to the failure to respect some commitments previously undertaken. In this context, the customs issue is also mentioned, where the Italian side had promised broad technical and financial support. But after the latest developments, this support appears to be in doubt. If this situation continues, then it is not excluded that Albanian-Italian relations may enter a colder phase than before.
