“Our Vlora man was replaced by Berisha’s dolphin” Revolt in the parliamentary group of the Socialist Party. The changes in the government are shameful ON PAGE 3 Tobacco stirred tabloids in the smuggling government Kyrenia you would see [?[?]], but the new police[?] is being torn down[?], appeared yesterday before the public as usual against the daughter of the local special elections Photo caption: Xhavit Sharra with the head [?[?]] A united, calm form, enhanced with the policies of the first coalition-rid[?] with slow profiles and with the zone-government[?] media spots have been used by the next propaganda around the action of the “Nano 4” government. This is clearly seen from the reaction of the deputies from Vlora and Saranda, to a sudden intervention in the political “coefficient” of the government cabinet. Sources close to the leadership of the Socialist Party stated last night to “RD” that the refusal of the deputies from the area to accept this solution by the prime minister, has come from the fact that the “portfolio” of the Vlora and Saranda area was removed all at once and without any consultation, to be handed over to another figure, close to the prime minister.” According to the same sources, the argument that the replacement was made within the framework of a restructuring of the government team, did not convince the southern deputies, who described the decision as “an insult” and “mockery of the electorate”. Some of the deputies have demanded that this move be accompanied by a public explanation from the prime minister, while others have hinted that the discontent could also be reflected in their stance within the parliamentary group. This new clash, coming immediately after the announcement of the cabinet composition, gives new tones to the internal crisis in the Socialist Party and calls the cohesion of the majority into question.

The Albanian government has failed to find the right link to solving the crisis in Kosovo The Albanian government has failed to find the right link to solving the crisis in Kosovo Milo’s pessimism proves the government’s failure Time, pay and the instincts of the routine idea of a controllable situation and endless speed, have prompted, on more than a few occasions, the foreign minister, Paskal Milo, to make statements that go beyond the limits of diplomatic caution. In a recent statement, he conveyed strong tones of pessimism regarding developments in Kosovo and the ability of the Albanian government to influence this situation. According to critics, such an approach, instead of sending a signal of determination, has served to expose the weakness of Tirana's foreign policy. For the opposition, these statements are a proof that the government has not built any serious strategy for the Kosovo crisis and that it reacts only under pressure from events. In the absence of a clear and coherent stance, Milo's pessimism is seen as a direct symptom of the government's failure. On the other hand, officials of the majority have defended the minister, claiming that he simply reflected the dramatic reality on the ground. However, the open debate after these statements shows that even within the majority there is uncertainty about how this issue should be managed. ON PAGE 5

A package of measures from the USA at today's Contact Group meeting A package of measures from the USA at today's Contact Group meeting USA: The Serbs are also testing Albania Sources in Tirana indicate that Clinton has ruled out 29 April the deadline according to which the USA would have sought the deployment of NATO forces toward Kosovo and Albania, in a limited punitive operation, which would have posed at key moments the Serbian challenge. According to the same sources, the decision was made after quick consultations with NATO allies and the Contact Group. In the American reasoning, the latest actions of Serbian forces in Kosovo and the provocations near the Albanian border are considered clear proof that Belgrade is testing not only the international will in Kosovo, but also Albania's capacity to cope with a broader crisis. Western officials have let it be understood that today's meeting could produce new diplomatic and economic measures against the Serbian regime, while strengthening of the military presence in the region is also not ruled out. In Tirana, the developments have been followed with great concern, while sources close to the government have stated that any further escalation at the border would require full coordination with the allies.
