New top secret documents enlight terroristic plans

Recruits to fight in South

New shocking facts are enlightening, day by day, the criminal plans on suppressing by force the South unrest of the first days of March by police and SHIK (secret police) forces, led by Berisha.
A top secret document was published these days by "Universal" paper, which reveals the massive recruit, in the first days of March, of the Democratic Party's militants, when the repressive plan against South unrest was starting to take place.
The published document refers to March the 7-th, 1997, and carries the seal of Postribe Commune of Shkodra district. According to it, 21 persons "had expressed their will" to be recruited in police and SHIK forces, voluntarily.
The upper mentioned document, found and becoming public, tells about the orientation of the political power center in Tirana to all the party's and local administration's structures to recruit the faithful militants of the party and state and use them, afterwards, against the other parts of the country.
The list of 21 youngsters refers to a sole commune. Through a simple calculation, if we are going to count all the North communes, which used to be under the same orientations, their number goes to thousands.

Obstructing transparency, commits a double mistake

The Albanian Finance Minister in an interview to "Zeri i Popullit" Newspaper

In his interview to the daily paper of the Socialist Party, among other things, the Minister of Finances, Malaj, opposes any allegations addressed to him by the President of the Republic, in his electoral campaign on behalf of Democratic Party, or by some of the presidents of the renting companies, by stating:
I can only make a full transparency on legal basis. I will not agree to carry out a superficial transparency, because it may lead to manipulations. No transparency can take place by fixing, beforehand, a time limit of 21 days, deadline, which astonished the international organisms, as well.
Regarding the issue of disinforming WB and IMF by me, I have to confess here that they are making public now their long time a go attitudes, when they used to express their concern on the existence and the activities of these renting companies. Like this, their concerns belong to a previous time, prior of my appointment as a Minister of Finances.
When the ex Minister of Finances, Bode, used to speak up about the transparency of these renting companies, he was called as a fool. When I speak up on the same issue, I am considered as a thief. How should the post finance ministers be described by the renting companies when they will touch the same issue?
By allegating that they have the money in banks, the representatives of the renting companies are providing to the people another big lie. I bag to Mr. Alimucaj, to Mr. Shehaj to address to the state TV and confess, in front of the directors of the state banks, how much money do they have in their bank accounts and the directors of the respective institutions will positively or negatively, officially confirm it within ten seconds. This is the shortest way of transparency, as far as their deposits are concerned. As anywhere else, even in Albania we have to refer to a legal condition of the banking system that the deposits are made public under the request of the depositor. Then, the other moment is that of their obligations to the creditors. But, a response, which used to come from "Vefa Holding" after this public invitation of mine, was that "we are going to consider your invitation". It is a fact that they do not wish to make public their bank accounts. And they abuse when they say that their moneys are in the banks and the banks do not give them back.

USD 20m in Montenegro so far

Only the name has remained to the Albanian industry. Its material base is flowing now to Montenegro. All this national property, the product of the efforts of some generations, now is leaving Albania. The value of the scrap traffic in Montenegro is alarming. Montenegro specialists calculate that the value of the equipment of only one sector of the Albanian economy, of the electroenergetics, flowing to their country, is USD 20 million. What about the scrap traffic from the other parts of the economy.
At a time that the Albanians of Montenegro are raising their voice against national property grabbing, the head of the Albanian state, Berisha, has raised his electoral podium, asking for another governing term of his party!?
