Berisha expresses confidence in a landslide victory in the 1 October elections Berisha, "I am not convinced that victory in the number of civilian candidates on the list has any significance. It is very important to choose clean candidates and capable politicians. Without a doubt it is important to choose candidates with integrity, because that is the essential trait for a democratic political force. That is the first criterion for selecting parliamentary candidates. Free competition brings about and leads to selection and the finding of the best candidacy. I hope and have confidence in numerous victories, because that has been the reality of the reforming of our party. It is a mistaken perception that men and women influence this issue. I hope we will have a large number of female candidates as well. Regardless of this, we will strictly adhere to the implementation of the 20 percent quota, in order to give women the right they deserve in politics and in the Parliament of Albania" On page 3

Nexhi CIKA The Albanian public opinion is very clear in the idea that both the communists of the PPSH and those who emerged again from the transformation of the Party of Labour into the PS share the same traits of anti-patriotism and anti-Albanianism. Albanian communists have had this trait since their founding and have demonstrated it, and even formalized it. This formalization begins with Enver Hoxha’s suppression of the Postribë Movement, with the civil war, with pressure and terror against anti-communist nationalists, mainly of the Balli Kombëtar, and comes down to the present day with their anti-Albanianism formalized through silence, insults and denial of the UÇK war, with the ignoring and contemptuous attitude toward the efforts of the Albanians of Kosovo for freedom and independence, with the refusal to accept NATO’s decisions to strike Serbia and to liberate the Albanians of Kosovo. They have clearly displayed and manifested such positions by submitting to Greek and Slavic anti-national policy. This is demonstrated by their own policy on Himara and minority rights. This is clearly seen in their alliances with anti-Albanian circles, most recently also with Gjinushi. This kind of politician cannot have the support of honest and true Albanians. He is a hostage to foreign circles and policies, which he serves fanatically. On page 5
