Seriousness begins with political platforms

By Shemsi PEPOSHI Yesterday, Union for Democracy and the United Right, two opposition coalitions, sent positive signals of cooperation between the right-wing opposition.

Starting from Zero

By Sokol OLLDASHI Albanian politics resumed its activity yesterday, as the annoying bursts of firecrackers died down, making way for a return to the daily routine of things and analyses of the year just past. A simple retrospective on the 364 days that have passed is enough to establish that 1999 was the second year of an intensifying, all-encompassing crisis that has gripped Albania since the events of spring 1997 and the elections of June of that same year on page 5

The government protects Azem Hajdari’s killers

Today marks 479 days since the murder of the December Leader Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari, a symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the involvement of Fatos Nano’s government and that of his successor in the crime that shook not only the Albanian world. The governments of the former communists, which have left the criminals who took the life of the December Leader unpunished, show Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the killers, who have names and identities but are untouched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can in no way tolerate this fact. The government must either apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
