In a previous article we have explained in detail the counter-revolutionary aims of this meeting and its purposes to oppose the re¬ volutionary and anti-imperialist struggle of the people. Today we shall dwell only on some aspects of the confused, contradictory and desperate at¬ mosphere, characterizing the revisionist pack on the threshold of a meeting for which the Soviet revisionists have not spared either big propaganda words or numerous material means. The Brezhnev-Kosygin clique has for several years tried through flattery, pressure, fraud and threats, to organize a big revisionist parade that would acclaim its line and recognize it as a supreme guide of the international communist movement*. It has pinned great hopes on this meeting which it has regarded as the promised land. In the first place, 3 being under the constant pressure of the people’s masses and upright communists, because of the incompatibility with its treacherous course of res¬ toration of capitalism at home and of collaboration with imperialism abroad, the revisionist leadership of the Soviet Union is seeking to deceive the Soviet people by telling them that its line cannot but be «Marxist-Leninist», since it has been ap¬ proved also at a large communist meeting which was attended by so many parties.

  • Tirana - Durrës Region: Upgrade of the Electricity Transmission Network
    Tirana - Durrës Region: Upgrade of the Electricity Transmission Network Project Financing WBIF Grant TA3-ALB-ENE-01 € 577,000 WBIF Grant WB4-ALB-ENE-01 € 577,605 OST Own Contribution € 5,000,000 KFW Loan € 40,000,000 Total € 46,154,605 Total Grants € 1,154,605 Total Loans € 40,000,000 Project Description This project will enable the construction of a reliable electricity transmission system in Tirana and neighbouring region, towards Durres. Specifically, it will entail: construction a 220 kV double circuit line from SS Tirana 2 to Rrashbull, a new 220/220 kV substation in Rrogozhina as well as power transformer upgrade in SS Rrashbull. construction of a new 220/110 kV substation (SS Tirana 3) with an installed capacity of 120 MVA (Sauk area) and the reinforcement 110 kV Tirana ring. The improvements will reduce electricity losses as well as power cuts, which regularly affect 50% of the region's residents and 30% of its private businesses. Current air pollution caused by the diesel generators used during power outages is also expected to decrease. The WBIF has allocated more than €1,100,000 as EU grant to the preparation of feasibility studies, including preliminary designs, for these two developments. Results and Benefits encourage economic growth in the Tirana area due to better electricity supply and reduced load shedding afford the electricity supply load growth rate which, for Tirana areas, is about 5.8% yearly (average one for the period 2003-2008) normalize supply of unsupplied load which actually for sub-urban areas is about 10-15%

  • Optimismo Radical PR Final
    Optimismo Radical Through September 3 Paulo Bruscky Waltercio Caldas Luis Camnitzer Jota Castro Juan Manuel Echavarria Dario Escobar Patrick Hamilton Artur Lescher Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Marco Maggi Liliana Porter Ana Tiscornia Josée Bienvenu Gallery is pleased to present Optimismo Radical. Bringing together twelve international artists, the exhibition is an invitation to reflect on those two words. Two redundant or contradictory words? Is Radical Optimism the opposite of moderate optimism? Or the opposite of conservative pessimism? The challenge is to articulate a series of questions, to detect some trends and attitudes. Conceived as a project in motion, Optimismo Radical 2 will take place in São Paulo at Galeria Nara Roesler in 2011. Paulo Bruscky was born in Recife, Brazil, where he lives and works. He has actively participated in the Brazilian art scene since the late 1960ʼs. His artistic practice is varied and experimental, combining performance, public interventions, drawings, mail art, video, radio, books and exploring multiple techniques such electrography and Xerox art among others. He was included in the São Paulo Biennial in 1981, 1989 and 2004 and in the Havana Biennial in 1984 and 2009. In 1981, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. Born in Brazil, Waltercio Caldas lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Considered one of the most important contemporary Brazilian artists, his work is often related to the Brazilian Neo-Concrete movement of the 1960ʼs. Exhibiting actively since the 1970ʼs he has represented Brazil at Documenta IX (1992); 23rd São Paulo Biennial (1996) and 47th Venice Biennale (1997). He was invited by Robert Storr to be part of the 52nd Venice Biennial (2007).

  • Kosovo, Albania and the Prospects of Unification
    All in? Kosovo, Albania and the prospects of unification On 14 February, Kosovo held snap parliamentary elections which the main opposition party, the left-wing nationalist Self-Determination Movement (LVV), won by a landslide. The victory was historic, as it dismantled the hegemon of the two parties that have dominated the post-war landscape, namely the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), neither of which will form part of the next government for the first time since 2001. This is significant not only for the domestic affairs of Kosovo, which LVV aims to transform through institutional and economic reforms, but also its geopolitical relations. This was not a central plank of LVV’s electoral platform, but it is an elephant in the room given its uncertain implications for Kosovo’s relations with Serbia, which inform whether Pristina can achieve full recognition of its 2008 independence – and thereby consolidate its territorial integrity, a necessary condition of moving towards eventual membership of the European Union. Two days after the election, the leader of LVV and its prime ministerial candidate, Albin Kurti, said in an interview with Euronews that in the event of a referendum in Kosovo on unification with Albania, he would vote in favour. Kurti heavily caveated his statement, but as an experienced political operator he would likely have been aware of the headline that the media would pick out. Reheated arguments Though controversial, the public declaration of this stance is nothing new. Unification has been at the back of the collective Albanian mind since 2001, with the assumption being that once Albania and Kosovo became members of the EU, borders would be redundant.
