The protest was organized by the student group Dardania. Participating in the protest were, besides students and people of Tirane, also different political figures. Recently, Macedonian police have arrested hundreds of Albanians who protested in defence of the Albanian national flag and symbols. The highest ranking Albanian authorities have expressed their profound grief over the three victims and scores of wounded and through a note of protest have informed the Macedonian authorities that on the basis of all European charters on the human rights and freedoms, it is the least minimal right for the Albanians to protest in defence of their national flag. Albanian officials have appealed to Macedonian authorities for self-control, serving in this way the peace and fragile stability in the Balkans. xh [07] DECLARATION OF ALBANIAN PRESIDENT ON SP DECISION TO CHANGE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS AND THOSE OF DEPOLITICIZED INSTITUTIONSTIRANE, JULY 13 (ATA) - Reports on changes to constitutional laws by transferring competence from the head of state to the prime minister, oblige me to attract the attention of the Albanian political forces, citizens and international institutions that these are not good-omened not to say a threat of grave consequences for Albanian democracy, says a declaration of the President of Albania.They are a direct expression of the will to give oneself as much authority as possible and to transform Albania into a which is country in the hand of a single man, be him a prime minister or a president. Also the declaration for the amendment of the laws of some important depoliticized state institutions only with the aim of changing their leaders, is a real revenge against the rule of law. The present constitutional laws of Albania, according to documentation and the expertise of the Council of Europe, share the powers and guarantee the country a parliamentary republic. They guarantee the government independence and full parliamentary control. Comparative studies of presidential competence in parliamentary republics made by constitutional experts known in Europe and the world, prove that our constitutional laws make a balanced division of the powers and that the competence of the President of the Republic are fewer than the competence of not only one but of some of the heads of those states. Besides, I would like to stress that the declarations for not a leading role of the President of a neighboring country show of the fact that the constitution of that country is not studied because the constitutional competence of the President of the Italian Republic and of the President of the Republic of Albania, although they are not identical, they have so much common points. I, as a President that is resolute that, right after accomplishing some important constitutional tasks, will not coexist with the new government which emerged from the polls, think that the division of the powers cannot be made according to the desire or decisions among friends, but conformed to the principles of control and balance between them. I also think that the changing of the constitutional laws with this parliament which came from elections which were not free and fair, but which are accepted only for the existing conditions by Albanian political forces and international constitutions, as well as the big concentration of the power in the hands of one man, are serious violations to the constitutionality and are acts with great consequences in the country's stability. The new laws of Albania and the institutions based on them are of European standards. These laws are compiled in cooperation with international institutions and have been object of numerous expertises. The institutions which are based on these laws have directed the reforms and established a fruitful international cooperation. Their amendment or changing cannot be made because the leading officials of the institutions should be replaced. The substitution of the leaders of depoliticized institutions contrary to their legal mandate in those posts, giving the legal changes a retroactive power, and without valuating their job, is illegitimate, it is political revenge and harms greatly the work and the future of the the institutions and the legal state in general. Resolute to play an opposition constructive role and by not claiming that the present constitutional laws make a perfect division of the powers, I would not like to rule out the discussions for these laws, and I consider indispensable the preparation of the constitution. But I think the process of the changing of the constitutional laws, as well as the preparation of a new constitution cannot be realised by a parliament which has been accepted as a political solution. They should be undertaken only in the spirit of consensus, which I think is possible only after another climate and situation is created, with the broad participation of the best Albanian experts and those of the Council of Europe and on the basis of the procedures accepted by Albanian political forces. Any imposition or amendment to the constitutional laws or to procedures of the approval of the constitution in this parliament in which 1/3 of the 2/3 of the deputies come from zones presently controlled by the committees and their terrorist gangs, prove that the concept of the free vote is lost and there is a return to the revenge of 1946. These acts would aggravate the political crisis and change it into a constitutional institutional crisis of grave consequences for the country. The responsibility will rest with those who by applying the denial and the doctrine of denial, want to violate, after the vote, the Albanian values, institutions and democracy in general. xh/k [08] 60 MILLION DRACHMAS FOR ORTHODOX CHURCH IN LACLAC, JULY 13 (ATA) - By Zef Pergega: The construction of an Orthodox church has started in the town of Lac, for which the Autochephalous Orthodox church of Tirane has granted 60 million drachmas. The church will have an hospital and a chemist's.Besides objects of the cult, also greenery areas will be created, along with improvement of water discharge system of Lac etc. kei/xh/k [09] MPF TAKES MEASURES FOR OSCE TEAMS IN THIRD RUNOFF POLLS IN ALBANIATIRANE, JULY 13 (ATA) - By Keida Kostreci: The troops of the Multinational Protection Force adopted Sunday security measures for OSCE observers in the constituencies which had a third runoff poll, told ATA the MPF spokesman."The Spanish battalion has put at the disposal of four OSCE teams four patrols in constituency 11 in Puke, while in constituency 77 in Fier, the infantry regiment has one escort group for one team of monitors," said Giovanni Bernardi. The MPF has taken measures for security by the air. In constituency 77 in Fier, the candidates of SP and RP are competing today, while in constituency 11 in Puke, there are the deputies of SP and DP. The MPF has escorted OSCE monitors also during the two previous parliamentary rounds of polls in Albania. MPF did not encourage OSCE to monitor polls in the zones it considered insecure. The MPF will start withdrawing from Albania on July 18 and the last groups of soldiers will leave Albania on August 12. xh/k [10] ALBANIANS IN DEFENCE OF NATIONAL FLAG - Rally in Tirane -TIRANE, JULY 13 (ATA) - By Eva Allushi: The invalidity by the Macedonian Parliament of the law which limits the holding by Albanians of the national flag and the release of Albanian prisoners who have defended their national values were demanded in a rally held by the Independent Student Union in Tirane Sunday.In a protest to most important international institutions they expresssed their indignation for the violation of the rights and freedoms of the Albanian people in Macedonia and asked the removal of tanks and special forces of Macedonian police from Albanian cities in Macedonia. Participants in the rally chanted slogans in support of the Albanian population and asked that violence and repression be halted in Macedonia. The rally was addressed by representatives of the Independent Student Union, Dardania Student League and the leader of the December student movement, Azem Hajdari. Leaders of the DP, BKP, RRP called for national unity and defence of the colours of the national flag.

Those present called on Albanians not to overestimate party colours but that which unites us all, the national flag. The chairman of the association of the veterans of the national liberation war, Pandeli Permeti, said that the Macedonian Government must respect the international charters on the human rights and freedoms. Recently, Macedonian police arrested hundreds of Albanians who protested in defence of the national flag and Albanian symbols, which have ensured the resistance of the Albanians in the territories where they live detached from the motherland. Highest ranking Albanian authorities have expressed their deep grief over the three victims and hundreds of wounded people through a note of protest to the Macedonian authorities telling them that on the basis of all European charters on the human rights and freedoms it is the most minimal right for the Albanians to protest in defence of the national flag. Additionally, Albanian officials have called on Macedonian authorities for self-control, something which serves the peace and fragile stability in the Balkans. xh/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
