DO NOT ACCEPT GOING AS THE "SCAPEGOAT" (In place of the people, are you the ones we are holding?) On one of the days last week in a calm, neither fair nor honest Albania, a serious economic scandal has been echoing. As has been made known, a complaint has been filed with the prosecution authorities over the theft of a large sum in foreign currency, a full 1,600,000 US dollars, from the bank of a Swiss creditor, which was obtained by a firm known to the democratic government for carrying out an oil-processing activity. That is where the story begins. The recipients of the money withdrew the amount in question from the bank by means of a forged power of attorney. That is all! Let us assume for the sake of argument that the democratic government has no hand in this affair. (Why shouldn’t it? We answer that question below.) At first this was seen as a matter to be pursued by the investigators and by justice. But what happened? At first the official press and television kept silent. Later, when the case became public, they began to speak about it, but not in a way that would clarify things for the public. They began to look for a "scapegoat". How many of those who have dealt with this story have seen its truth? If all its links are examined, it becomes clear that the beneficiaries of this sum are connected to power. A private company, unknown until then, wins the right to such a large activity and, as soon as the opportunity is created, takes the foreign currency with a forged power of attorney. Who gave it guarantees? Who protected it? Who helped it? These are questions that demand answers. This is not the first time such scandals have been discussed. The public is tired of the noise and of the lack of disclosure of the facts. Instead of a full clarification, we see hesitation, evasion, and attempts to steer attention elsewhere. That is why Democratic Party deputies should not agree to go down as a "scapegoat" for a matter in which the shadow of responsibility falls higher up. Is it not necessary to set up a parliamentary commission to fully verify this affair? If so, then that commission must be independent, serious, and equipped with all the means to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, everything will remain nothing more than political smoke and mirrors. Public opinion has the right to know who took the money, with what documents, in whose name, and with what approval. If the government has no hand in it, let it prove so through transparency. If there was cooperation, favoritism, or cover-up, then political responsibility is unavoidable. This is a matter of public morality, the rule of law, and trust in institutions.

— 5 still? or has Panama's loot taken his life — As they have written in the press about pocket change and other scandals, so too have other scandals come along that weigh down the life of the people. For all of these, the government bears political and moral responsibility. We are making a recap of some of the most important issues that have shaken public opinion: unkept promises, wrong economic decisions, mismanagement of funds, dubious privatizations, unemployment, falling production, and the worsening social situation. Instead of giving an account, it has chosen propaganda, excuses, and blaming others. But how long can this continue? The state is not held together by slogans. It is held together by responsibility, by law, and by governing ability. Citizens have the right to demand the resignation of a government that does not fulfill its duties, does not protect the public interest, and does not guarantee justice and equality. This demand is not an empty political slogan; it is the natural outcome of repeated failures. If the government wishes to preserve even a shred of institutional dignity, it must make way for a solution that restores trust in the state and in politics.

In recent days, the issues covered in the press have prompted many reactions. According to the information published, another development has sparked debate and public attention. The text in the column is partially illegible in the image and cannot be reconstructed exactly without guessing.[?]

Government mission “highly secret” THE SERBIAN AND GREEK GOVERNMENTS ARE AUTHORIZED TO SEND THEIR ARMIES INTO KOSOVO At a time when talks on the former Yugoslavia are taking place in Geneva and various statements are being made about Kosovo, the positions on possible military interventions have also drawn special attention. The Albanian Helsinki Committee expresses concern over a government mission described as "highly secret", according to which the Serbian and Greek governments would be authorized to send their armies into Kosovo. According to the notice, this would constitute a very serious development for the Albanians of Kosovo and for peace in the region. The notice stresses the need for the public to be informed accurately and for state institutions to provide full explanations for any action or commitment affecting the Kosovo issue. The Committee calls for transparency, respect for human rights, and rejects any solution that harms the Albanian population in Kosovo.
