Il consiglio provinciale di Pescara ha, infatti, approvato la delimitazione dell' ambito territoriale della colonia, all' interno del quale potranno essere applicate le norme, a tutela delle minoranze linguistiche, fissate dall' art.3 della legge 482/99. Il provvedimento era stato sollecitato dal consiglio comunale di Rosciano. I cittadini di Villa Badessa potranno chiedere, ad esempio, che l' insegnamento della lingua italiana sia affiancato da quello dell' albanese, oltre a poter usufruire delle agevolazioni previsti dalla legge nazionale. I circa cinquecento abitanti rimasti sono i discendenti di un gruppo di diciotto famiglie che partirono, nella prima meta' del secolo XVIII, dall' Albania meridionale per sfuggire all' occupazione turca nei Balcani. Giunti in Italia, ricevettero da Carlo III di Borbone i due feudi allodiali dell' Abbadessa e di Piano di Coccia, insediandosi ufficialmente in Abruzzo il 4 marzo 1744. Il piccolo nucleo era accompagnato da due sacerdoti ortodossi, cui fu affidata la cura della comunita' che, ancora oggi, celebra suggestivi riti in occasione della Pasqua ortodossa. (ANSA).

According to the Athens daily ôImerisiaö, Ms. Del Ponte has complained over the Greek authorities' failure to freeze those accounts, even though such move would not have been justified given the absence of money-laundering evidence. According to Ms. Del Ponte, who has dispatched an envoy to Greece for this purpose, the accounts in question were used to transfer money abroad and, after a labyrinthine trail, were channeled to Milosevic and his associates. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Njerezit duket se nuk jane aq te irrituar, ashtu sikurse ndodhi ne zgjedhjet lokale te vitit te kaluar. Aty dallget e detit kane filluar te perplasen tek ndertimet pa leje, qe sic thone banoret e zones, nuk eshte prekur asgje qe nga koha e premtimeve te zgjedhjeve lokale. Rruget kane mbetur po ato, edhe pse ishte premtuar shtrimi i unazes se qytetit, dhe fondet jane dhene nga qeveria shqiptare per ndertimin e kesaj rruge. Kur mendon se zgjedhjet e ardhshme parlamentare po afrojne dhe lufta politike do te mbetet e hapur si ka qene edhe ne zgjedhjet e kaluara, situata rendohet edhe me shume. Ka kaq shume halle ky qytet, tek i cili pretendohet qe kete vit shteti te vjele te ardhurat me te medha nga turizmi. "Sikur te na japin ndonje kredi per te mbaruar keto ndertime qe kemi nisur! Si t'i mbarojme? Me se t'i bejme?" A thua se vertet himariotet jane kaq te vuajtur ne fakt, por ata, e kerkojne nje gje te tille. te gjitha investimet e filluara, duhet te perfundojne gjate ketij viti. Dhe kjo, sepse Himara vertet aktualisht ka vetem 2000 banore dhe rreth 1700 familje, por numri i popollates, ashtu sikurse cdo vit tjeter, do t'i kaloje te 10 mije vetet. "Kete vit fryjne erera te mbara, sepse edhe ata turistet nga Maqedonia, apo edhe zona te tjera, ketu do te vijne". banoret e kesaj zone, e kane kuptuar shume mire fluksin e madh te njerezve qe do t'u bujtin ne dere kete vit. Por edhe pse bejne perpjekje te medha, duket se nuk do te kene asnje rezultat deri ne fillimin e plazhit. Pavaresisht se ndihej fryma e fillimit te plazhisteve qe i gezoheshin diellit te nxehte dhe valeve te detit. Hallet kane mbetur ato te tetorit Premtimet e dhena ne qytetin e vogel te Himares, duket se kane humbur ne detin e madh. Himariotet, nuk kane asnje lidhje me Tiranen, kryeqytetin e Shqiperise. Dhe kjo per shume arsye. "Ne duam qe ju te percillni fjalen tone ne Tirane: ne duam te shohim ndonje kanal televiziv shqiptar. As Televizionin Shqiptar nuk na e kap ketu ne Himare. Nuk dime se c'behet fare nga Tirana. Duhet te behet dicka per kete sepse ne nuk mund te rrime ne kete gjendje". Kjo eshte kerkesa e pare e banoreve te zones, te cilet cdo dite shplodhin syte e tyre jo vetem me detin, por edhe me kanalet televizive greke, qe duket sikur edhe antenat e tyre i kane te montuara ne ndonje maje mali perreth Himares. Ata nuk degjojne asnje gje shqip, dhe nuk shohin se c'ndodhne anen shqiptare, ndersa jane shume te informuar per politiken greke ne pergjithesi. Madje, as Radio Tirana e degjuar shume ne kete zone, nuk arrin te degjohet. Por serish nuk mbetet ky problemi kryesor. "Po pe kerkon ti televizor, kur nuk ke drita?". Gjysmen e fjalorit shqip, dhe gjysmen me theksin greqisht, dikush aty prane i ankohet personit qe foli ne mikrofon se ne te vertete, duhet te trajtoje shqetesimet me te medha. Dhe kjo eshte mungesa e energjise elektrike nga ora tete e mengjezit, deri ne oren 9.30 te mbremjes. Dhe kjo per qytetaret eshte e patolerueshme per njerezit me pushtet qe zbriten me pompozitet ne Himare per zgjedhje dhe bene kaq shume premtime. Ashtu sikurse edhe nje vit me pare, nuk behet fjale per telefoni celulare shqipe ne qytetin bregdetar. te shohim se cfare do te servirin kesaj rradhe per Himaren biznesmenet e medhenj greke, te cilet kane marre ne duar dy operatoret celulare te licensuar ne Shqiperi. Megjithate Panafoni grek i ka shtrire tentakulat e veta edhe ne territor shqiptar. Uji eshte nje tjeter shqetesim i premtuar per himariotet, por i parealizuar. Grate himariote, kane gjetur ne te vertete mundesine per te shkuar buze detit dhe per te lare rrobat, nderkohe qe ai pak uje qe u vjen e perdorin per te pire. "Uje dhe drita duam, nuk do te kerkonim ndonje gje tjeter qe per momentin nuk e kemi", thone ata njezeri. Askush nuk ndjehet optimist per te ashtuquajturat investime te premtuara per qytetin e vogel bregdetar. Madje, edhe per rrugen e Llogarase, qe te con ne Himare, nuk jane shume optimiste se do te behet. "I kane ngrene parate, i kane ngrene", thone disa nga banoret, duke i drejtuar syte lart, si per te thene qeveritaret aktuale. Por ajo qe te ben me shume pershtypje ne qytetin e vogel, eshte pikerisht influenca greke ne kete zone, e cila vazhdon te rritet kohe pas kohe. Shteti grek, gjate ketyre muajve qe kane kaluar qe nga zgjedhjet e tetorit te vitit te kaluar, nuk ka ndenjur indiferent perballe problemit shqiptar-minoritet grek ne kete zone. Nenkryetari i OMONIA-s, Vasil Bollano, ish kandidati per kryetar bashkie ne zgjedhjet e tetorit te vitit te kaluar, thote se OMONIA eshte e pakenaqur nga shifra statistikore e dhene per minoritetin grek ne kete zone. Banoret konfirmojne megjithate, se shteti grek po ben te pamunduren per me shume influence ne keto zona. Dhe gjithcka pasqyrohet edhe tek ndihma sociale qe banoret pleq te Tiranes marrin nga shteti grek ne baze te nje programi te Bashkimit Evropian. Ndersa shume kohe me pare, deri ne zgjedhjet e tetorit te vitit te kaluar, ndihma sociale per ta ka qene 40 mije dhrahmi, gjate gjithe kesaj periudhe kjo ndihme eshte rritur edhe 10 mije dhrahmi te tjera, duke e cuar kete shifer deri ne 50 mije dhrahmi, nje shifer kjo jo e vogel. Ndersa per ata qe jane aktualisht ne Greqi, pra pjesa me e madhe e himarioteve te cilet kane me shume sesa 5 vjet ne kete vend, perftojne edhe pashaporten greke. Kjo eshte politika e ndjekur ne garen teper te ashper qe do te zhvillohet per keto zgjedhje. Petro Koci-Stavri Marko, ne gare per Himaren Duke mbetur ne situaten parazgjedhore ne Himare, perfaqesuesit socialiste i kane bere gati tashme gjithe propozimet e tyre, ndersa perfaqesuesit e minoritetitjane akoma ne kerkim te kandidaturave. Zona elektorale qe perfshin Himaren ka nje shtrirje qe nga Komuna e Lukoves, Bashkia e Himares, Komuna e Vranishtit e Brarit dhe Kotes. Sipas kryetarit te partise socialiste te qytetit te Himares Jorgji Buta, deri tani keshillat zonale te qytetit kane nxjerre tre kandidatura kryesore: njera i perket kryetarit te PS se qytetit te Vlores, ka dale si propozim ajo e Petro Kocit, sekretar organizativ i PS, i cili eshte me origjine nga Qeparoi si dhe Anastas Angjelit. Kandidatura e ketij te fundit perjashtohet nga kjo zone sepse Ministri i Financave do te vendose kandidaturen ne Tirane. Sipas zotit Buta, keto do te jene propozimet qe do te shkojne deri ne konference, nderkohe qe deri tani ende nuk eshte menduar per ndonje aleance paraprake mes gjithe forcave politike, ashtu sikurse ndodhi ne zgjedhjet lokale te tetorit te ketij viti. Kur permendet emri i Ministrit te Jashtem shqiptar Paskal Milo, si nje kandidature e mundshme, Buta thote se ky propozim vjen nga Partia Socialdemokrate. "Por deri tani nuk dihet se si do te jete bashkepunimi dhe perzgjedhja ne qender", sqaron kryetari socialist. Nuk ndihet e njejta ere ndryshimesh ne struktura, persa i perket kampit te OMONIA-s. Vasil Bollano, tha per KJ se vete kjo organizate do te bashkepunoje me Partine e te drejtave te Njeriut dhe se se bashku do te nxjerrin nje kandidature per deputet. Bollano tha se keto zgjedhje nuk duhet te jene absolutisht si zgjedhjet e tetorit te vitit te kaluar, sipas tij te manipuluara. "Sa per kandidaturat ne ende nuk kemi perzgjedhur ndonje", sqaron Bollano. Megjithate nuk ngurron te thote se eshte ofruar vete per te kandiduar Stavri Marko, duke dashur te mbeshtetet nga OMONIA dhe Partia e te drejtave te Njeriut. "Ai e ka sjelle kerkesen prane organizates sone, por ende ne nuk e kemi vendosur. Kjo kerkese e tij do te shqyrtohet ne kryesine e OMONIA-s", thote Bollano per gazeten "KJ". Fushata edhe kete here do te jete nje nder me te ashprat qe do te zhvillohen ne kete zone. pavaresisht se deri tani qeveria shqiptare ka vene ne dispozicion te Bashkise se Himares mbi 1 miliarde e 400 milione leke te vjetra. Llogaraja, mali qe u be autostrade Qafa e Llogarase, ka marre pamjen e nje kantieri tashme te perfunduar. Askush nuk e mendonte se rruga qe nga hyrja ne qafen e Llogarase deri ne dalje te saj, do te rregullohej ne nje kohe kaq te shkurter. Kolonel Islam Batalli qe eshte njekohesisht edhe shefi i forcave xheniere te ushtrise qe punojne per zgjerimin e rruges ne kete zone, tha se deri tani jane bere gati per asfaltim rreth 6 kilometra, nderkohe qe po punohet ne nje segment rrugor prej 12.5 kilometrash. "Rruga eshte zgjeruar dy here. Vende vende ajo shkon deri ne tete metra, por zgjerimi normal i saj kap te 7 metrat", sqaron Batalli per KJ. Por kjo nuk ka qene nje pune e thjeshte. Jane arritur te hiqen rreth 43 mije metra kub shkemb dhe jane bere rreth 35 mije shperthime per te hyre deri ne brendesi te Qafes se veshtire te Llogarase. Aktualisht jane hequr pjesa me e madhe e mjeteve dhe ne pune kane mbetur vetem 13 te tilla per te vazhduar punimet. Batalli sqaron se punohet per te mbyllur kete rruge brenda afateve te caktuara. "Madje ne do ta perfundojme zgjerimin dhe pastrimin e rruges 10 dite para afatit", garanton ai duke u shprehur njekohesisht se ky eshte nje angazhim i ndermarre perpara Kryeministrit dhePresidentit te Republikes. Aktualisht ne Qafen e Llogarase, puna ishte ne fazen perfundimtare, cka do te thoshte ne te vertete, vetem heqje e dherave dhe shkembinjve te mbetur. Pr punetoret mbeten te pakenaqur nga menyra sesi pagohen per kete pune te bere. "Punojme qe nga ora 7 e mengjezit deri ne tete te mbremjes. Sa per rrogen mos na pyet se na dhemb ne zemer. Paguhemi shume pak. Eshte e vertete se na eshte premtuar rritje rroge 400 perqind, por paga qe ne marrim eshte e ulet. Une personalisht marr 94 mije leke te vjetra, por ka edhe shofere qe marrin nga 70 mije leke te vjetra. Ne patjeter ne perfundim te kesaj pune, e duam nga nje shperblim", thote nje nga punetoret. Dhe eshte e vertete qe atyre ushtarakeve qe kane 6 muaj qe punojne intesivisht per te care malin, u takon nga nje shperblim per punen e jashtezakonshme qe kane arritur te bejne. 04/10/2001 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

In the statement it is stressed that the Greek minority has responded positively to the appeal issued by the "Omonia" general council and abstains from the population census process in a show of protest to its questionnaire that does not give the opportunity to the Albanian citizens to state their ethnic origin or religion in the case they wish to do so. The organization condemned the intimidation incidents on behalf of the state authorities and the unusual presence of secret service men in the regions of the ethnic Greek minority. Such pressures were recorded mainly in the cities of Kato Dropolis and Chimara. In the statement it has issued, "Omonia" calls on the Albanian government and international organizations to use their influence to end the intimidation climate and interventions, while it also calls for the adoption of measures to correct the injustice made to the ethnic Greek minority. "Omonia" representative Michalis Latsos stated to MPA that the adoption of a open procedure in the registering of the ethnic Greek minority members, allowing them to state their ethnic origin and religion if they wished to do so, was always the firm demand of the organization.
