The rivals, Harasani and Islami are leaving The full list to be proposed to the Assembly Socialists will convene the highest forum at the end of the week, changes are revealed News The PS Assembly will decide at the weekend on the new leadership and the new secretariat of the PS. Islami, Harasani, Pino, Allushi and Haxhinveri are leaving. Beqja, Gjiknuri, Veliaj, Tahiri, Bushati, Hysi, Sejdini, Gjika and Dako are coming. TIRANA Jakin Marena The National Assembly of the Socialist Party, which is expected to meet at the weekend, will elect the new leadership and the new secretariat. At the same time, the chairman of this forum is expected to be elected. As a result, the Socialists are on the verge of changing their governing structure, where, through a secret vote in the Assembly, names that for years have been part of the highest socialist forum are expected to be left out, while the new arrivals will also have their deserved place in the leadership and secretariat of the PS. Performance in leading the party, involvement in debates and clashes with the Socialist leadership, as well as respect for the decisions of its governing forums, will also be the key elements influencing the vote of Assembly members for each candidate name. Only a few days before the approval of the members of the Presidency and the secretariat, discussions have begun on the names that will be proposed to the Assembly, it is learned that the list of candidates will be exactly 33 candidates, referring to the PS statute, for one third of the members to compete.

A coffee with... BY Anila Basha Diva had her usual coffee with the doctor. Coffee, if you can call it that. In fact, it was a clinking of glasses for the Independence celebration at the Palace of Brigades, where, as every year, every president invites us for a drink. Finding myself among a group of women and respected ladies, Arlinda Dudaj, who published Rama’s “Kurban”, Adriana Berberi, professor Iris Luarasi, my AFP colleague Bresida Mema, I saw the prime minister trying to slip past us without noticing. I knew very well that he would tease me about the erotic poetry of Sokol Olldashi that we had published almost 10 days earlier in shqiptarja. Because Fevziu had told me that the Doctor had told him he would give me a reward for having found Olldashi’s poem, and even for publishing it. Me – Mr Prime Minister, don’t leave, meet this circle of ours here, for the celebration... He – Anila, I said I would give a medal... Me – No, a reward... He – ...a medal for Olldashi’s poem. Where did you find it... Me – At the fair, doctor, next to Rama’s “Kurban”, since we also have Arlinda here. So what do you think, when did he write it... because I believe he wrote it in his youth... He – No, no, he brought out the real Sokol. However, tell me, I think he wrote that poem six months ago and dedicated it to you... Me – How do you find that, doctor, but it is not the first... ...let us dream and hope, that at least we may have the state like this too, far from the erotica of parliament, or from Luli’s scandal. continued on page 4
