Something is moving for the better, but it is only the beginning... — KORÇË — From observing in the park to talking over coffee, from Thursday's discussion day and the economic Thursday with the agricultural cooperative's headscarf to comments about the bakeries, in every conversation the people of Korçë are inclined toward one thing: that more must be done for the daily bread. There are days when enterprises barely manage to produce the planned output, there are villages where the grain is still not properly organized, and there is also a general feeling that work has lost its old rhythm. But beyond the words, it is felt that something is moving. In the city, people are talking about a return of attention to production, to order, and to discipline. In enterprises, more responsibility and fewer excuses are being demanded. In agriculture, new calculations are being made for seed, fertilizer, irrigation, and labor. Some say this is only a small start, others call it a good sign; but everyone agrees that without seriously returning to work, words remain words. Citizens are demanding more clarity in supplies, more care for the market, and less chaos in distribution. In neighborhoods, people mention queues, shortages, delays, and the concern caused by daily insecurity. Even where there is a desire to do better, the need for organization, direction, and better cooperation among the links is felt. These days, Korçë seems to be returning to the conversation about work. Not with fanfare, but with a kind of silent persistence. This is not yet a solution. It is the beginning. And the beginning is valuable only if it turns into rhythm, production, and the improvement of people's lives.

— SHKODER — Uncle Xhaxhi, with an old bicycle, the weight of the years on his back and a pale bag on the handlebars, stops in front of a half-empty shop. People look at the price lists, ask for oil, sugar, soap, bread. Someone shakes their head, someone curses under their breath, someone walks away without speaking. In Shkodër, the question of the day is simple and heavy: when will work begin? In the factory, the workshop, the warehouse, and the office, the lack of rhythm is being felt. There are lost hours, delays, a lack of responsibility, and a kind of numbness that prolongs the day without filling it with results. People talk about the need to return to order, to the norm, to keeping one's word. They say that without work there is neither bread, nor supply, nor peace. The city lives with a kind of tired waiting. The market is unsettled, services are barely being maintained, while families are making tight calculations to get through the day. Nevertheless, there are also voices calling not to lose faith, to return to work seriously and quietly. The question remains hanging, not as a complaint, but as a call: when will work begin?
