The French embassy denies the speculations of the left-wing press regarding Berisha’s visit to France Chirac writes to Berisha: “I am waiting for us to meet” Chirac: “I would be very inclined to extend your visit to Paris to discuss various issues of mutual interest for our countries, but the timing, in view of the upcoming French presidency of the European Council in Cardiff, makes organizing this meeting with you practically impossible” Senior representatives of the French government have stated that the process of preparing Mr. Berisha’s visit to Paris has been, and remains, normal, as protocol предусматриes. The denial came from the French embassy in Tirana. A few days earlier, the far-left newspaper “Koha Jonë” had written that the meeting between Chirac and Berisha was being postponed because of pressure from Prime Minister Nano.

Along with the text, they insinuated that “everything is part of a secret dossier” and that “the scandal is being covered up”. In the following, relying on documents, we reject the banal fabrication and the political accusation built on assumptions. In this heated climate of propaganda, one thing remains clear: the attack has nothing to do with the truth, but with the need to strike the opposition and smear its public figures. ON PAGE 10
