Syndicate: situation in albania |
here is some more on the situation in Albania. the trouble is over in Shkodra. it ended up in a positive way. regular police forces didn't respond to the provocations and behaved carefully. two people from the armed group are under arrest and they weren't released despite the big pressure put on the ministry of interior from the ex president Berisha. it is true that the governemnt lost something internally by not being able to avoid the incident from the beginning, but their carefull handling of the situation gave them a lot of support internationally and later even internally. all the visiting groups from OSCE, and a group of eurodeputies supported the government and their actions. by a smart move the minister of interior involved the international police groups that are in Albania to help reorganizing the Albanian police and now they are going to take care of the reorganization of police forces in Shkodra. By this move Berisha was really cut out of any kind of support. now it is publicly known that he cannot damage seriously because he is lacking support from people. yesterday a group of high eurodeputies arrived in Albania to discuss the process of Albanian constitution. after meeting with the president, the political forces, and the commision for the constitution, they approved the steps taken until now from the government and some of the right wing parties which are in favour of the constitution. after that they had a closed meeting with Berisha, and today, before they leave, they are going to give their opinion on the situation and the further steps to be taken. that's all for the moment, all the best, edi. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
