WE UNDERLINE: Aware that he will bear the full cost Even when he points a finger at someone, for quite some time he separately considers which of them should know about the implications with him.

As is being done now, in the future the language of ethics and shame for people who have been talked about will have no place in his life. Especially when there is such a relationship with legality. Yet beyond that, I am surprised by the zeal with which the anti-Albanianism of that part of business linked to foreign trade is ignored.

What is happening is painful and at the same time explainable by the latest genocide against Albanians For several weeks, voices of violence, administrative interventions, and attempts at ethnic cleansing in areas populated by Albanians have increased. This picture is presented as the continuation of a long policy of repression and denial of national rights. The author sees the development as part of a strategy to change the demographic composition and economically subjugate the local population. (Continued on page 3)

The ministers praised the journey of the "flooded" and cluttered workplace of the cold workers...[?] Based on a decision, foreign passenger ships[?] that will call at our country are to be used on licensed routes. This comes at a time when the maritime transport problem has become extremely sensitive and linked to seasonality, migration, and passenger safety. In various meetings, investments have been promised, but the situation on the ground shows that the basic conditions for administration and control are lacking.
