Comparison between manual and automatic inclinometers. Impact du fonctionnement du barrage hydroélectrique sur la stabilité des pentes. Comparaison entre inclinomètres manuels et automatiques. Ani Xhagolli - Kosho Statkraft/ Albania Thomas Schönborn Statkraft/ Norway ABSTRACT: Inclinometers are widely used for measuring horizontal displacements in ground as well as in structural elements. In particular the observation of natural creeping slopes demands inclinometer measurements of high accuracy. It is therefore essential to assess the reliability of inclinometer measurements in a systematic way. This contribution deals with the examination and determination of accuracy and precision concerning inclinometer measurements. This paper presents one case for understanding and interpreting slope inclinometers, manual and automatic. Inclinometer measurements will be discussed based on the actual impact of a hydropower reservoir on an old and still active landslide. The case is an approx 0.5 km2 large slope in the Albanian mountain range. The slope has a history of slow creeping, requiring re-building of houses every decade.

Mr. Gilbert Galanxhi Ambassador of Albania to the U.S.A. US Helsinki Commission Washington, D.C., May 6th, 2013 Distinguished Mr. Chairman, Honorable Members of Congress, Distinguished Participants, Please allow me to extend my sincere thanks to the US Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, known as the US Helsinki Commission, for providing me with this opportunity to share with you and this very distinguished audience some thoughts on “the Pace of Progress of Albania”, including reflections on some of the achievements, developments and concerns that my country, Albania, has been experiencing recently. I also want to thank all the previous speakers for their very well prepared and detailed presentations, which consider today’s topic 1 from different angles and viewpoints, but, I have to stress, with good intentions and the desire to see my country advance faster and better on the democratic path that it has definitely chosen. Distinguished friends, I sincerely consider myself to be amongst very good, principled and loyal friends today. It is an undeniable fact that Albania has made tremendous progress in the last two decades in every respect. What you and almost all western democracies have achieved in more than two hundred and fifty years, we have sought to achieve in less than twenty five years. We are conscious that we have to, because there is no other agenda, nor any better option for Albania than full integration into the European Union.
