A parliamentary commission recommended that Berisha, a member of Parliament, be stripped of his immunity against arrest. The full Parliament is expected to take up the matter Friday. A defiant Berisha said he welcomed the recommendation. "Twice I have felt proud of myself in 1991 when I saw with my eyes how my people stood up (to communism) and now," said the former president, who called on his supporters to turn out in force Friday for a protest rally that some observers fear could trigger more violence. Earlier Thursday, Berisha led 3,000 supporters of his Democratic Party through the streets of Tirana in a peaceful march. He and his party have denounced the government of Socialist Prime Minister

UNDER SECRETARY GROSSMAN: Thank you very much. Let me first of all thank all of you for taking time to visit with us this evening, and may I thank the Minister and all of those we have seenthe President, the Prime Ministerhere in Tirana today. We are grateful for your hospitality. May I also take the opportunity, here in public, to pay tribute to Ambassador Jeffrey and the outstanding team of Americans that we have representing us in Albania. We admire what they do; we support them. Mr. Minister, I have had the chance with both the President and Prime Minister to thank Albania for its efforts in the global war on terrorism, for your deployments in Iraq, to the ISAF to Afghanistan, and to Bosnia. Mr. Minister, you know that on Tuesday in Brussels I had a chance to consult the North Atlantic Council on a plan to accelerate the process of Euro-Atlantic integration for the Balkans and to remind people that the vision we have is for a Europe whole, free, and at peace. As I reported to the President and the Prime Minister, I think that after ten years of military, economic, and political commitment, we have established a foundation for self-sustaining progress in the Balkans. And Albania is a very important model in this regard. When you consider that we stopped a war in Bosnia, we prevented a humanitarian catastrophe in Kosovo, and we defused the conflict in Macedonia. Our goal is to bring the Balkans into Europe and to hasten the day when we will have stable, peaceful, and multiethnic democracies.

CEEBICnet CEEBIC Investment Climate Statement Albania presents a challenging investment climate, despite government encouragement of foreign direct investment. Albania's developing market economy, however, offers opportunities for investors willing to face significant difficulties and risks. Albania was among the last states to overcome communism; decades of Stalinism, central planning, and isolationism ruined the economy. The country experienced violent unrest and destruction of property both with the fall of communism in 1991 and after the collapse of pyramid investment schemes in 1997. Albania remains among the poorest countries in Europe. Both physical and financial infrastructure remain under-developed. Corruption remains widespread and crime, while still problematic, has fallen significantly due to stepped up government efforts to improve public order. Albania offers considerable natural resources, including oil, gas, and coal, iron, copper and chrome ores, and water and hydroelectric potential. Property and labor costs are low, and the large, young populace is ready to work. An on-going privatization process presents opportunities in strategic sectors. Moreover, Albania shares a border with Greece and is just across the Adriatic from Italy, offering proximity to western European markets. Travel Warning The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the potential danger of travel to Albania. The security situation throughout the country remains unstable. Business people considering visiting Albania should contact the state department or U.S. Embassy for the latest travel advisory information.
