The Democratic Party shares the same concern as KFOR and UNMIK The Albanian Foreign Minister says in Russia that together with the Serbian delegation Milo, in Moscow with Milošević’s minister Berisha meets the chairman of the Democratic League of Montenegro The Democratic Party brings up Nano’s agreement with Rakeviç Today, the national meeting of the nationalist-democratic eighth “Azem Hajdari” Azem was killed for us

Shensi PEPOSHI The chilling practice of the socialist government can be turned quite well into a guiding star for Albania’s future if every day it is contradicted by slogans of the type “Since we have been so capable, we will not stop until we become even more honest and more devoted” to the law. There is talk about all the absurdities unleashed by Mr. Nano’s government and then the spectacular failures in the economic, social and institutional fields, but it seems to have devised the recipe for curing Albanians. PS, ideological election campaign by NEZA The Socialist Party will carry out an ideological election campaign in the absence of convincing arguments from a government that has stained its face with the darkness of corruption. First, with a “red label,” the socialists are suffering from a complex, and all the hordes of propaganda have been unleashed against their opponents with recipes from the cradle. The symbol of democracy and pluralism, Azem Hajdari, is turned into the most demonized public figure in government newspapers and programs. Condemned as the devil who showed Albanians how black the sides of the hell of life’s summer would be, Azem carried it through as his name truly says. He was a portrait of a man hoping to become somebody, but also a prophet of the time lost in which a rotten socialist elite is struggling to manage, the one that has placed him in its only target. The Presidency of the Albanian advisers denigrates him only for appearances, while the Hajdari heart has been wounded in version 2. on page 5

Today, 637 days since the killing of the leader of December The governments of Albania have avoided at least three ways of shedding light on it, but for the threats to democracy and pluralism, an order to keep the killers silent. It has been communicated that the investigations should be conducted independently and with specialization, and further from the side of the majority, there was an order that the work should be done differently. on page 5
