“We have reached the conclusion that the elections of 29 June and 6 July were acceptable; and that their outcome provides the basis of a stable democratic system that Albanians want and need, and that honest efforts and careful action are necessary. “The formation of a new government is proceeding in an orderly and constitutional manner. President Berisha is preparing to resign. Parliament is expected to convene soon.” From my first visit to Albania on 8 March, it became clear that the roots of the crisis lay especially in the Albanian political system and in the collapse of the pyramid schemes.”

I wish you our support in facing difficult tasks Distinguished friend, I also wish to offer you our active support for every effort of the future government to fulfill the necessary obligations. The interventions of our Europe involved in the fate of the general elections of 29 June have touched the failures and misfortunes of the future. On this occasion allow me to wish you Yours sincerely PAULINE GREEN Brussels, 9 July 1997

Asked by “Zëri i popullit” how he views yesterday’s attacks by the presidential newspapers and the dishonest forgery aimed at preventing Deputy Nano from speaking, the Socialist leader replied: “The Nano government is criminalized so that even Mr. Hajdari can create an opposition branch, and so that Mr. Hajdari can also nominally create one, in order to begin studies at the Faculty of Law, so that he may have the chance to acquire the elementary skills of a jurist, so that at least he knows how to read laws” .
