For every two questions from “RD”, one “no comment” from the spokesperson of the Kosovo government[?]... In his meeting with the President Clinton’s representative for the Balkans, the American ambassador Christopher Hill, in recent days in Tirana, Prime Minister Fatos Nano was asked by Albanian and foreign journalists about many sensitive issues related to the situation in Albania and Kosovo. Taking advantage of Mr. Hill’s presence, the Albanian prime minister did not miss the opportunity to present himself as the “father of the nation,” as a moderate politician and as a guarantor of stability in Albania and the region. However, the journalists’ questions went beyond the usual formulas and touched on his relations with the opposition, the Kosovo issue, elections, order, and the government’s responsibilities. For many of them, the answer was vague, indirect, or evasive. In this sense, the following material brings the essence of those questions and of Mr. Nano’s public answers, as perceived by the press and the public. ON PAGE 2
