Many Kosovars risk their lives in Kosovo
 Kosovo, the region where the majority are Albanian-speaking people,
waiting to have a definite status very soon, is going through a very critical
situation. The situation is like this even because the Kosovars have created
terror situations. There are many cases in Kosovo where not only individuals
but families have their lives in danger. Kolë Dakaj from Pristine, the capital of Kosovo, is an
innocent victim who many years ago had to leave Kosovo along with his family,
to go abroad in order to save their lives. Kolë’s father, was at the service of Serbs and is accused for the
murder of some Albanians. In these conditions his family could be fired, so
they had to leave. There are many cases in Kosovo when Albanians were killed
without proven evidence, right those Albanians who served Serbs, like the
case of Gjon Dragobia, Muhamet Laçi, Enver Luli etc. Many families
ceased existing because of this revenge of Albanians against Albanians. In these
conditions, Kolë Dakaj is
in danger in Kosovo, where even after the final status will have this kind of
problems, becoming a hell for many innocent individuals.

The traffic and its cost
The high traffic of prostitutes from Albania
was often a real concern for EU countries, especially for Italy. Those
who deceive young girls mostly, are linked with
motorboats and segments of clandestine trafficking.
The pressure of Mafia of women trafficking has often
won over justice and the victims, after escaping the “work on the streets”
and surrender to the Italian Police authorities, after coming back in Albania and
reporting for concrete individuals, had to stop and give up, thus making
possible for tutors to go out free.
This is a grave phenomenon. Lastly in Lezha
were found and caught four girls who were to be sent in Italy.
Perhaps this is a bad opinion of occidental countries about Albanian criminal
groups, that isn’t easily removed belaying our integration in the big
European family. Albanian groups in Italy are very powerful and
compete the Russians, Iraqis, Kosovars etc.
This plague is much serious than declared as for the mentality most of
them are not made public or reported. The kidnapping and trafficking in Italy of two
girls 19 and 20 years old, M.T. and S.L. from Dajç,
in these last days has broken the hearts of their relatives. The traffic of
women goes through Vlora, Durres, Lezhe, Saranda. Thus, the lack of
keeping the promises before the EU states as one of the crucial conditions
for the ratification of the Association Stabilization Agreement by the EU
Parliament, is belaying Albanian in its way. This trafficking brings along a
diplomatic cost. Nevertheless, what concerns the most is the fact that
traffickers show themselves powerful and their projects are continuously
realized.

In Lekbibaj, where the
Canon is rough and the law inexistent
Lekbibaj of Tropoja lays at the right side of Drin river, between Fierza
and Dukagjin. The inhabitants there are hospital, lovely
and companionable, but very fanatic. The Canon, revenge, follows everywhere,
even beyond death, for revenge goes on even after seven generations, just a
disagreement or a wounding or murder, and the life is seriously menaced.
The family of Jak Bushati
from Lekbibaj became victim of a revenge that might
have no end. On August 22, 2002, the policeman Ndoke
Nuka was murdered. Two people were accused for his murder: Joland Bushati and Abedin Lazri, yet the murder
was never proved either by investigatory organs, prosecution or the court,
yet the two accused were condemned 20 years each, as collaborators in murder.
By the condemnation it is clear that the law doesn’t work, it gives the same
condemnation for murder for two persons. This maybe to avoid medieval revenge
of the relatives of the victim as much as possible. No matter the absurd
sentence of the court, the Canon is more powerful. The relatives of Joland Bushati had to leave
their country and live hidden. On October 22, 2006, unidentified people, probably linked to blood-feud, wounded Jak Bushati. This didn’t occur
in Tropoja but in another town. Jetnor
Bushati and Jonard Bushati, brothers of Joland,
who’s in jail without evidence, are wanted to be killed. So, two brothers and
their father, Jak, live with the fear of
blood-feud. The young Jetnor and Jonard moved to occidental countries, as the ancient
Canon gave sentenced death for them and the generations to come.

Prek Radoina forced to wander around
 The young Prek Nikoll Radoina from Theth of Shale, in Dukagjin,
had to leave his parents and emigrate, though being less than 15 years old.
This intelligent young man lived in very hard conditions in his family and
the missionaries of “Mother Theresa” helped them with food and clothes. Very
soon he became a useful volunteer helping nuns on identifying the needs of
population, helping in trips, meetings with young people from a village to
another on spreading the Gospel. The missionaries kept him close to them
helping in all religious activities, where the people of this region had not
seen a Catholic missionary around since 1967, when churches were closed. The
population got involved in mass very soon and started to build the destroyed
churches, building also a convent near the Saint John Church
in Breg Lumi. But in the
night of December 12, 1995, happened something that shocked all the region. Some criminals violated the building
mistreating and robbing the missionaries. In these circumstances the young Prek Nikoll Radoina
was menaced by masked people, who threat his life if he would report to the
police. In these conditions he moved abroad. The police did never found the
criminals, even after many investigations. The missionaries left the place.
The Bishop of Pult of that time, Mons. Robert Ashta,
distributed a pastoral letter condemning the occurred as a very negative
gesture. In shocking circumstances, Prek Nikoll Radoina left his parents
and his young aspirations in order to save his life.

The consequences
of the darkest year in the Albanian
 The 1997
is the darkest year in the history of the Albanian State. The collapse of the
pyramidal companies was the ignition to fire up the system of that time. As a
consequence, weapon depots of the Albanian army were broken out and within a
few days there was an armed people. The lack of function of the State gave
chance to a real civil war, who’s consequences are still visible today.
Many innocent people were killed, others were wounded, mutilated, violated,
accused and mistreated. One of them was Fatjon Çekaj, born on January 10,
1979. Despite the fact that everyone knew him as one who stayed out of
troubles, the police accused him for illegal possession of weapons and murder
attempt against the citizen H. Mujaxhi. In these conditions, feeling unsafe,
because many others, accused without evidence, like him, were eliminated by
the police even within the police station, he found the way to leave Albania.
None knows any exact address of him today, though some think he lived in Great
Britain, in Ireland, in Belgium, in Holland, in Germany, always moving, changing
his residence, feeling his life unsafe, because of the Calvary experienced in
his birth-country.
