It is understandable that these funds will be distributed transparently and according to the enforced electoral law on the elections to the local government bodies. Any reference to the old law, now changed, is not a mistake but a fraud. According to the new law, the funds will be distributed in accordance with the votes to be won by the parties in the October 20 elections. This is the reason that advance-money is initially provided to make the full reimbursement after the end of the elections, that is, not according to the results of the previous elections as stipulated by the old law; this is a principle of all European laws. So, besides the parties that took part in the July 1992 elections, the already created parties will also be financed. We once again underline that we do not have to do with any violation of the law in force; we are one month ahead of the elections. Meeting so far the deadlines envisaged by the law, the government has shown that the law will be entirely respected. At the same time the government hopes that the parties will give up unreasonable pseudo-protests and complaints, which disturb the democratic and peaceful electoral campaign, the statement of the government press spokesman concludes. lm Albanian Telegraphic Agency[05] SALI BERISHA AWARDS DISTINGUISHED REPRESENTATIVES OF FRENCH ARCHAEOLOGYTIRANA, SEPT 21 (ATA)- By F.Nikolla, The outstanding French professors of the antique archaeology, Leon Rey and Pierre Cabanes, currently Director of the French Archaeology and Epigraphic Mission in Albania, were awarded the first class "Naim Frasheri" order Saturday afternoon.Sali Berisha, awarding these outstanding scientists, honoured their outstanding archaeological activity and contribution in Apolonia.
