Nano’s political death After suffering another slap in the face from the U.S. State Department, Prime Minister Fatos Nano, also rejected by the U.S. Secretary of State, Medlin Olbrajt, has urgently convened the government cabinet to examine this problem. According to government sources, it is now clear that Nano’s visit to the USA is turning into a serious concern for the Tirana cabinet. After this blow, it has become clear that the Nano government is now in great trouble, so much so that the prime minister’s meetings have been suspended until a final solution is found. Nano, according to all indications, has fallen victim to profound nervous strain, which of late, according to government sources, has gone beyond normal limits. The government’s own despair has even driven it to organize protests outside the American embassy and it is seeking to exert pressure on senior officials of the American government through various envoys and lobbyists. In fact, Nano is trying to use the Italian government to persuade the Americans not to close the door to him. According to government circles, the situation has become delicate. A few days ago, the Italian press reported that the Prodi government was making efforts to mediate for Nano with the State Department. Apparently, this intervention has produced no result. Government sources state that the head of the State Department, Medlin Olbrajt, has sent Nano a letter informing him that, because of her busy schedule, she cannot receive him. However, according to these sources, the Americans have explained that the real reasons for the refusal are the political arrests, the state of opposition rights, as well as the severe political situation in Albania. It is learned that these concerns have also been communicated to Tirana through diplomatic channels.
