WHO IS INTERESTED - Over 400,000 unemployed people remaining idle - Essential goods such as soap, pasta, beer, bricks, porcelain, furniture, etc. not being produced - Heavy industry not being revitalized - Machinery produced in the country becoming "scrap" WHO IS INTERESTED - Over 400,000 unemployed people remaining idle - Essential goods such as soap, pasta, beer, bricks, porcelain, furniture, etc. not being produced - Heavy industry not being revitalized - Machinery produced in the country becoming "scrap" Unemployment and "scrap" for hundreds of factories and plants?! PASOK leader Andreas Papandreou told Austrian Chancellor Franz Vranitzky on 7 July 1993 of his deep concern about the prospects for new economic relations and especially about the fate of hundreds of industrial enterprises because of the Greek blockade against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. PASOK has pointed out that the moment for normalizing relations with Albania is not independent of the formation of a coalition government. The opposite is happening. There is no argument for the need to completely liquidate and destroy Albanian industry as of today, with the absurd claim that the country must move at once into an agrarian society. What Albania and its citizens gain from this is becoming clearer every day. The departure of hundreds of engineers, specialists and craftsmen turns Albania, for an indefinite period, into a country with no prospect whatsoever for modern industry. Extremely important centers of the Albanian economy, which not only drew in part of the workforce but also created the basis for exchange through trade and services, are being turned into "ruins." Government leaders have offered no convincing explanation of how this wealth, created by the sweat and effort of hundreds of thousands of workers and specialists, will be replaced. This is not about defending everything inherited from yesterday's centralized economy. But neither can one accept the line of the final destruction of everything that has been built, without evaluating with today's criteria what can be renewed and put at the service of the market.

Papandreou declares: For any step toward normalizing Greek-Albanian relations, the solution of the Albanian-Macedonian issue remains inseparably linked, and this must also be resolved by the future Greek government. THE PASOK PRESS OFFICE announces by FAX Papandreou declares: For any step toward normalizing Greek-Albanian relations, the solution of the Albanian-Macedonian issue remains inseparably linked, and this must also be resolved by the future Greek government. PASOK leader Andreas Papandreou told Austrian Chancellor Franz Vranitzky on 7 July 1993 of his deep concern about the prospects for new economic relations and especially about the fate of hundreds of industrial enterprises because of the Greek blockade against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. PASOK has pointed out that the moment for normalizing relations with Albania is not independent of the formation of a coalition government. The opposite is happening. It is now known that the solution of the issue of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is directly linked to Greek-Albanian relations as well, and that the future Greek government will have to deal with them as a package. For this reason, he stressed, it is not possible to take unilateral initiatives to normalize relations with Albania before the overall framework for solving the Macedonian problem is defined. According to the announcement, this position was communicated to the Austrian Chancellor during the meeting held on 7 July. It ends by saying that the conversation was informative and political in nature.

1. Bread is bought for 300 lek in the village and sold for 500 in the city 2. Wholesale sales are giving traders a large commission 1. Bread is bought for 300 lek in the village and sold for 500 in the city 2. Wholesale sales, which are just getting under way, they say A remnant of counseling for poverty? SP is missing in Bulgaria Strange phenomena can be observed in the city markets regarding the price of bread. In the village it is bought at one price, while in the city it reaches much higher prices. This is creating speculation and unfair profits for wholesale traders. Wholesale sales have become a link where large profits are collected, without any visible control. Small traders complain that they are getting bread at inflated prices and are forced to sell it even more expensively. The city consumer remains the one who pays the heaviest burden. In this situation, the question arises whether the lack of institutional regulation is favoring a distorted market. In some cases, according to observations, the price of bread fluctuates inexplicably from one area to another. THANAS VINO

A small lecture for the Minister of Justice It seems to me that much remains unclear from the police procedures and the format of the files. No doubt should be left unresolved.

These questions are being put to the Ministry of Justice and the investigative bodies. The public expects clear and convincing answers. If there were violations, they must be brought to light without delay.

The people's property is being sold 1 - They do not return it with wages [?] Such offers are appearing as ordinary notices, while behind them often lies a murky privatization process. Hotels, buildings and other assets are being transferred into private hands at a rapid pace, without the necessary transparency. Citizens are asking what the criteria for sale are, how the value is determined, and what guarantees exist that public property is not being transferred below price. THANAS VINO
