Gjinushi said that Albania considers the problem of the Greek minority "a friendship and cooperation bridge and there is no political and legal obstacle to respect its rights."

Kostandin Karamanlis, the Greek Speaker, said that he saw as very positive the continuation of increasing close cooperation for Albania's integration in the European Union.

The Albanian Speaker met with the PASOK Central Committee Secretary. Mr. Skandalidis confirmed a visit of the Greek prime minister Costas Simitis in Tirana and that of the Albanian President Rexhep Meidani in Greece in the months to come.

During the second day of the visit in Greece, the Albanian delegation met in the Greek Parliament with representatives of the foreign policy, of defence commission and the Albania-Greece friendship association.

The meetings stressed that the relations between the two parliaments will lead to exchanging constant information and avoiding problems, artificially created with the Greek minority or the Albanian emigrants.

The chairman of the parliamentary commission of order and SHIK, Luan Hajdaraga, talked about the improvements in the restoration of order, disarming of population, and others.

The Greek parliamentarians assured the Albanian delegation that the Greek people and state will fully support Albania in international organisations and in solving present problems. /a.ke/kled/ak/mt/sh/

[05] REPUBLICAN PARTY TO HOLD THIRD CONGRESS ON OCTOBER 29, 1997 - From meeting of National Council -

"The congress will finally define the stands of the Republican Party," RP leader Sabri Godo said.

In today's meeting of the National Council, the Secretary General of this party, Cerciz Mingomataj, attacked Sabri Godo regarding his last stands in parliament, which according to the secretary, were taken by the Republican leader as "a reward for the Socialist Party."

Mingomataj, who asked the vote of confidence from the National Council, attacked Godo also in regard with the status approved before the congress, which gives many rights to the party chairman. The vote of confidence of Mingomataj was not approved by the National Council.

The debate between Godo and Mingomataj continues since the electoral campaign of May 26, when Godo took position in favour of DP and Mingomataj contrary to it./a.ke/kled/mt/sh/
