Progressives and conservatives Nano and Berisha face to face Nano: Cooperation Berisha: No! No! No! Interview with the chairman of the PSSH, Fatos Nano, and the chairman of the PDSh, Sali Berisha, given to Mr. Eliez Biberaj on "Voice of America"; concerning the stability pact and the initiatives that have been undertaken in Albania for foreign investors. NANO: Today, within the framework of the mission of the stability pact, the financing, [the] projects and the sectors where financial resources need to be absorbed in function of sustainable development, in the service of stability in the region and of the Albanian economy, will be analyzed institutionally. Albania is presented with 30-40 developed projects offered in Brussels. In particular, I think that agreement and understanding with the opposition, and specifically with Mr. Berisha, both in Tirana and especially here in NANO: there is a need for a formula, for a shared stability and mechanism in the region and a stability that comes to Albania and [new?] and shared transformations. This is in the stance that we should commit ourselves to the development of market infrastructure, encourage joint activities with our interest partners and continue to remain in peace from Brussels yj. BERISHA: I think that as [a?] governable one, the country does not need formal words, but the involvement of national leaders and citizens known to public opinion, and the real issue and removal of the gas in the region; development and developmental transformations, space for shared [national?] conditional ties."

The spokesman for the pact’s special coordinator, Hombah: The money will be allocated in Brussels "So this is not about the Stability Pact having handed out money so far. What he has said somewhere[?], the coordinator presents only one thing: on 29 and 30 March it will take place in Brussels." "At this conference, concrete projects will be put into competition, broken down by categories and criteria as to how much the committed state will provide. Not prepaid; sufficient and limited."

- Mr. [a]i Nano, Mr. Berisha can we [sir?] if you invited him to a meeting? Do you believe [Mr. Berisha?] you can be in the framework [prime minister?] yes or no? NANO: By logic I address Mr. Berisha both before and after [e?] that conference if [this?] agreement will be insist[?]ed upon in all [functions?], whether he is president or in [a?] legal practice with [himself?] by Berisha [ends?]. I can say that we are waiting for [them?] in all institutions where he has his place [himself], just as I think that it [comes?] [itself?] to the president [for?] [in?] [all?] presidencies [and?] [in?] more [we?] [sources?] [such?]. The country does not need formal words, but the involvement of national leaders, the involvement of the country's elite and of society and of [formed?] citizenship, for [and?] agreement and involvement within the [framework?] of a formal [function?]. It is [a?] matter of [a?] political [assessment?] and the most [appropriate?] [in?] [this?] [framework?].
