Today in Tirana, the first Congress of the Socialist Women’s Forum

Today the first congress of Socialist women is being held. There are over 500 delegates representing more than 30,000 women members of the FGS throughout Albania. Today they will discuss their concerns and problems. Today's Albania has many troubles. Above all, they weigh on the shoulders of women. Albanian women today are deceived and disappointed. But Albanian women are optimistic. They will know how to resist evil.

In our meetings with them, we presented our program and our activities and made use of experience on the basis of partnership; we also contributed to seeking ways to solve the problems that concern women not only in Albania.

Murders, expulsions and occupations Written by: Hans Peter Rullmann "In 1939, Yugoslavia and Italy held talks on the partition of Albania. Precisely the laboratory notes of Čubrilović were used during the talks with the fascist Foreign Minister, Count Ciano. In this way Serbia would take Northern Albania and the Albanian ports. The expulsion of Albanians was part of these talks." Page 11

These days, comrades Alfred Paloka, MP and member of the PS Steering Committee, Kadri Rrapi, member of the PS Presidency, Petro Koçi, chairman of the PS of Fier, Muhamet Bela, chairman of the PS of Kukës, and Dhimitër Papadhopulli, PS councillor in the Tirana district, returned from Denmark, where they carried out a study visit to become familiar with the democratic achievements of Denmark’s system and elections. During their stay in Denmark, the delegation of the Socialist Party of Albania had a special meeting with Mr. Lasse Budtz, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Danish Social Democratic Party. After being informed about Albania’s political situation on the eve of the upcoming parliamentary elections, Mr. Lasse Budtz assured our delegation that the Danish PSD would continue to support the Socialist Party of Albania, valuing its role in strengthening democracy in Albania. We, he said, will support the Socialist Party of Albania and other socialist parties of Eastern Europe in joining the Socialist International, because that will also serve the integration of these countries with Europe better. He assured that the Danish PSD will find ways to send its representatives to Albania to encourage the PS in its work to strengthen democracy in Albania. Correspondent "Zëri i Popullit"
