A special assembly for parliament PD gets guarantees on clarifying the killing of Azem Hajdari. Emergency meeting of the presidency. “Let us respond to political changes in the region,” On Monday, the national council ON PAGE 3 Albanians, we will stand by you BY BILL CLINTON I believe that, in the name of the American people, I should also express admiration for your courage and the determination with which you have survived this grim period. The open field before you, whether you are in Macedonia, Albania or free Kosovo, offers a new opportunity to build a life without fear or oppression. The future must belong to you and to all the children of Kosovo, whom we often have in mind when we ask ourselves what this war has truly been about. For them, I continue to believe that it is possible to create that future that Dr. Ibrahim Rugova has spoken of, that future of a tolerant democracy with 90,000 Serbs living in peace and good-neighborliness with 400,000 Albanians living in Serbia. Our hope has already begun to become reality, and I know that it is time to build this future. You are going through difficult hours fighting against the forces of history, but I know that a new chapter of history is beginning. Your children will remember that you made this history possible. We have never, ever regretted deciding to act. You have suffered the systematic oppression of a government that not only drove you from your homes, not only tried to force you to leave your country, but also burned your houses so that you would never return. It is clear that the will of Milošević and NATO to determine the future could not have prevailed (if we enter there), but we do not want to enter a country in which people have given up their rights. The killings, rapes, destruction of everything else that happened before our eyes give us reason to fight so that this never happens again. We are going to Kosovo to fight not only for the rights of Albanians, but also of Serbs, Turks and Roma, who have been victims of this regime. Our goal is to build a country where the rule of law prevails, where people live in freedom and no longer fear the police, the army or paramilitaries. We want to see everyone return to their homes and every shattered life rebuilt. For those who have lost their loved ones, we cannot bring them back, but we can help ensure that their sacrifice was not in vain. That is why NATO acted, and that is why we will continue to stand with you until the end. You have inspired the world with your resistance, and now the world has a duty to you. Government, we will stand by you In the army, returning takes the weapons as a sign of work for the future on a future day of Kosovo [?]

In person that we have not quickly decided on the issues, but that we will soon return to the time when every viewpoint was critical toward the individual and the institutions; the pressures must be understood as part of a full democratization Once again about the faction in PD and several other issues By Genc Pollo In person that we have not quickly decided on the issues, but that we will soon return to the time when every viewpoint was critical toward the individual and the institutions of the Albanian Democratic Party and of the country. In such a circumstance we will strengthen within the party the tendencies toward liberalizing the structures and toward correcting the rifts caused by past mistakes. ON PAGE 3
