The efforts to put under complete censure the party paper, by "trusted" people of the SP leadership, are significative evidence in this direction, underlines the statement of the journalists of "Zeri i Popullit". /kled/mt/k Albanian Telegraphic Agency[06] FIVE WAGONS IN FIRE IN THE RAILWAY STATION IN TIRANATIRANA, DEC 7 (ATA) - A sudden fire which burst Friday burnt five passengers wagons in the railway station of Tirana, but fortunately without causing victims.The accident, which caused several million damage, lasted one hour.

"The decision," President Berisha said, "constitutes a direct backing not only for the Belgrade students in their liberating mission and the democratic forces in Serbia which merit a full support, but also for the peace and stability in our region which are no less threatened by today's Yugoslav mini-federation, based on violence, pressure, nationalism and chauvinism than they were threatened five years ago by the artificial maxi- federation, based on the same inhuman principles. Friday's decision of the EU Council of Ministers is surely a genuine contribution to the implementation of the Dayton accord, whose charter, to be more exact, whose blocking is being maliciously used to prolong the political power of those, who created the biggest postwar drama in Europe. s.sh/jz/lm/Z/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[10] POPE JOHN PAUL II FOUNDS NEW DIOCESE AND NOMINATES TWO BISHOPS IN ALBANIATIRANA, DEC 7 (ATA)- The Apostolic nuncio, Archbishop Ivan Dias makes known to the President of the Republic, Sali Berisha, that this Saturday at noon the Holy See will announce decisions on the Catholic church in Albania.The Pope Paul II has founded the Diocese of Rreshen, including the districts of Rreshen, Burrel, Bulqize and Peshkopi.

The concert opened with fragments from the Bible read by the chorus of the Evangelical Fraternity and then followed Christian songs, joint prays and a drama interpreted by the troupe of the Evangelical Fraternity of Tirana. The concert transmitted the joy and peace brought by the faith in Jesus Christ and the message of understanding and love for each other. In 1892 in Korca, upon the initiative of the distinguished figures of the Albanian history like Gjerasim Qiriazi, Petro Nini Luarasi and a group of patriotic youths the "Evangelical Fraternity" association was founded. It intended the fraternity and unity in Christian belief as well as the propagation of the Evangelism in the Albanian language. This vision, which has been continuing among the youths since 1992, right after the establishment of democracy in Albania, made possible the reorganisation of the "Evangelical Fraternity of Albania". Today this association coordinates cooperation between churches and the activity of the Evangelical community all over Albania. jz/lm/Z/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[12] COMPOSITION OF ALBANIAN NATIONAL FOOTBALL SQUAD DETERMINEDTIRANA, DEC 7 (ATA)-By A. Keko,The coach of the national team , Astrit Hafizi, appointed the 18 players to take part in the match to be played against the Northern Ireland's squad in Belfast on December 14. At the beginning of the week FIFA lifted Albania's ban from the World Cup. The Albanian football received a "shock" on November 27, 1996, with FIFA, the world's soccer governing body, taking the decision of suspending Albania from this organisation. According to FIFA's sources the decision was taken after the Sports Secretariat at the Ministry of Culture and Sports had ordered the suspension of Albanian Football Association (AFA) general secretary Eduard Dervishi and dissolved its executive committee. That day FIFA told the AFA that it did not recognise these decisions and that it would continue to consider Dervishi and the dissolved Executive Committee as the only official representatives of AFA. The measure taken by FIFA jeopardised Albania's World Cup group nine qualifying match against Northern Ireland on December 14 as well as Albania's participation in international activities at club or representation level. Albania and Northern ireland are included in the same group with Germany, Portugal, Ukraine and Armenia.jz/lm/Z/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[13] FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF FOUNDING ALBANIA-FRANCE FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION FOR VLORA CELEBRATEDVLORA, DEC 7 (ATA)- By H.Koci,The fifth anniversary of the creation of the branch of the Albania-France friendship association for the Vlora district was celebrated on Saturday.Also present in the activities held on the occasion was the ambassador of France to Albania, Patrick Christmant The French ambassador was received in separate meetings by heads of the district council and the city's municipality.
