The sensational Nikono island story is fully illuminated. Sokol Nano had his own big business in the place where he was caught with drugs The son of the Albanian prime minister appears as co-owner with a very wealthy Greek on the tourist island where he was detained by police Kosovo in flames, Nano rests in Greece ON PAGE 4 A few weeks ago, the Albanian prime minister accused that among the hundreds and thousands of Albanians who had fled Albania to Greece, only a few dozen supporters and relatives of former prime minister Sali Berisha were trying to overthrow his "power". After this propaganda by the government, with strong anti-human tendencies, and after the country had been divided into communist billionaires and asylum seekers struggling to earn their daily bread, public opinion turned its attention to the prime minister's son, Nano. Sokol Nano, together with his close friend, who was also a partner in a hotel in Mykonos, an Albanian formerly known under the changed name Apo Kollia, was traveling to Crete with heroin in his suitcase. Throughout the whole incident, the Albanian officials reacted late and with incomprehensible flailing. At the time, many speculations arose that the drugs found in the bags of Nano's son had been planted there to set a trap for the government. There were even suspicions that political opponents of the prime minister were involved in the plot. A few weeks later, information from the Greek press showed that Nano's son had not only close and intimate partners in Greece, but had also amassed fabulous wealth. Time has begun to bring the truth out of the darkness. For several days now, the public has been learning about strange episodes in Prime Minister Nano's activity in Athens. The evidence submitted for study payment by Mr. Edgar Geega to the Tirana prosecutor's office denounces with facts how the head of government, during the years of imprisonment and the early 1990s, benefited from substantial sums from emigrants. In addition, facts are being made public that indicate that the current prime minister has risen economically through suspicious methods. These days it has become known that the son of the Albanian prime minister Fatos Nano, one of the most talked-about people in the Greek press in recent weeks, had built a powerful hotel on one of Greece's best-known and most expensive tourist islands. It is said that the prime minister's son had long been a co-owner of a 48-room hotel called "Leto" on the island of Mykonos. According to the Greek newspapers, the prime minister's son's co-owner is one of the richest men on the island of Mykonos, known as Ago Kollia. The Greek press has spoken about a close friendship between the son of the Albanian prime minister and the Greek businessman, but has also portrayed Nano as one of the people who moved freely and easily in the circles of Mykonos snobs. In Greek press articles referring to the connection between Nano's son and drug trafficking, the episode of the "Leto" hotel was also discussed. Data have been published according to which Sokol Nano secured his share in the hotel with a loan taken in 1993 from a bank in Athens. Interestingly, according to those data, the repayment of the loan and the subsequent investments were borne by Sokol's partner himself, the well-known Greek businessman Ago Kollia. These data clarify that the property of the son of the Albanian prime minister in Mykonos had been the subject of investigations by the Greek financial police. But according to these same sources, the investigations did not end with consequences. Some time ago, the name of the Albanian prime minister's son appeared on the list of persons involved in a suspected narcotics trafficking network. A suitcase containing heroin was found in the vehicle in which Sokol Nano was traveling with several friends. Later, the event was downplayed and presented as a misunderstanding. Despite this, his business ties in Greece and especially ownership of a hotel on a luxury island make the matter even more serious for Albanian public opinion, at a time when the country is facing poverty, mass departures, and a deep crisis of trust in the government.

The Presidency of the Democratic Party meets Yesterday afternoon from 17:00 to 20:00, the Presidency of the Democratic Party of Albania carried out its analysis of the current political situation and its activities . At this meeting, held in the presence of Mr. Sali Berisha, with the participation of 15 of its 16 members, detailed assessments were made of several aspects of the current political situation in the country. In particular, the Presidency stressed that the country is going through a serious political, economic, and social situation and that this deterioration is directly linked to the misgovernment of the socialists. According to the Presidency's analysis, the tense situation in the country is also being worsened by the hostile attitudes of the authorities toward the opposition, toward press freedom, and toward civic protests. The Presidency of the Democratic Party assessed that the crisis in Kosovo is entering a dangerous phase and that the lack of a clear national and international stance is only serving Belgrade's policy. In this context, support was reiterated for the intervention of international actors and for the coordination of Albanian political forces. The meeting also discussed the PD's organizational activities in the districts, the mobilization of structures, as well as the forms of opposition response in the coming days. ON PAGE 7
