From 1000 USD that was the daily average profit in a games of chance hall, with 10 automatics in 1996, this year it is reduced to 300 USD a day. There are suppositions that the owners of the halls of such games do not declare the real incomes.There are over 40 halls of the games of chance in Tirane without counting here some kiosks operating with the same purpose. The games of chance had a "boom" especially in 1996 when the people had more money to spend as a result of the flourishing of many pyramid investment schemes in this country. Partizani cinema hall, the best in Albania, was turned to a bingo, whereas Magic Bingo continues to function in one of the halls of the Palace of Culture in Tirana center. The present law on the Games of Chance favours without any limit the granting of licences for these games. Although the game of chance is a "permanent chance" for the owner and not for the one who plays, these halls are full of people playing at almost every hour. The probability to win in the automatics is 1 in 50 times. jz/xh/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[04] EXPORT DECREASES IN AUGUST - INSTATTIRANE, OCT. 2 (ATA)-By N.

"It is the Serbian side, which has not been ready to carry out the agreement and we oppose the Serbian efforts, which try to blame us for the failure," Osmani said. The Serbian-American scholar on Balkan affairs Milan Andrejevic said in an interview with the Voice of America that he criticizes the failure of the Rugova-Milosevic agreement on Albanian education. "The fact that the students protesting peacefully are facing the violence of the Serbian police shows that there are still deep splits in relations between Albanians of Kosova and Serbs and that the language used by the Serbian government in talks with world leaders runs contrary to its actions in Kosova. The international community should set up a group of expert mediators to deal with the problems in details and work with both groups to resolve the differences existed between them, Andrejevic said. pta/pas/kled/ak/sh/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[16] ALBANIA'S PRESIDENT STRONGLY CONDEMNS VIOLENCE EXERTED ON PROTESTERS IN KOSOVATIRANA, OCT 2 (ATA) - Albania's President Rexhep Meidani is concerned about the fate of the peaceful manifestation of thousands of Albanian students throughout Kosova, who with the legitimacy of their cause for education in mother tongue, expressed in the most civilized way their stand towards this fundamental national right, President's spokesman reports.President Meidani conveys to all the students his support and wishes the injured protesters quick recovery.

President Meidani greets the stand of USA, the European Union and the governments of all countries in condemning the Serbian violence and the understanding showed for the rights of Albanians in Kosova. "The last event, underlined Meidani, proved that the problem of the Kosova Albanians is neither a Yugoslav question, nor a regional one. In front of this situation it is very urgent the international occupation to force the Serbian authorities to respect the engagement undertaken and not to play with itself and the fate of Albanians in Kosova."/s.sh/mt/sh/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[17] INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS HAVE NOT SHOWED INTEREST FOR VEFA COMPANY - Finance MinisterTIRANA, OCT 2 (ATA) - By L Thanasi: Neither the World Bank, nor any other international institution has showed interest for "Vefa" company, Albania's Finance Minister, Arben Malaj, reported to ATA on Thursday, who explained that Mr Lee Roderik and Dwight Williams are simply private consultants of USA.Mr Redorik and William issued on Monday a joint news conference with the president of Vefa Holding, Vehbi Alimucaj.

"An Albanian citizen should not think about an international aid but should work for the country's reconstruction. Therefore, the signals by the international community should not be only promises but concrete actions," Vranitzki said. Asked how he sees the fact that the opposition through boycott is not taking part in parliament, Vranitzky replied that international community is based on a saying that a consensus should be reached. He said that both political trends - Nano and Berisha - have promised for a constructive solution. It is clear that this cannot happen now, due to circumstances of the spring this year. Vranitzky said that both sides have expressed their readiness to reach a consensus. But, no final statement has arrived yet.

Considering the previous and present circumstances in Albania, the international community believes that the parliamentary relations will become normal," Vranitzky said to ATA. inge/ssh/ak/sh/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[24] FINANCING OF HOSPITALS, RESIDENCES AND SCHOOLS WILL BE THE COMPENSATION FOR EVERY ALBANIAN CREDITOR- VranitzkyVIENNA, OCT 2 (ATA) - "During the electoral campaign in Albania, clear words have been said for the restitution of money, lost in pyramid schemes. It was a matter of immediate restitution of all money. But this question has noting to do directly with the international community," the OSCE special envoy for Albania, Dr Franz Vranitzky, told ATA on Thursday. "Albania will be backed on the control of the structure of pyramid schemes, which means giving answer to the question: from where did the money come, and before all, where did the money go. The use of this fund will be controlled through a large operation. It is unimaginable that with this kind of support direct restitution of money be provided." According to Vranitzky, financing of hospitals, residences and schools is considered by the international community as compensation for any Albanian creditor. /inge/s.sh/mt/sh/ Albanian Telegraphic Agency[25] CONTACTS IN HONG-KONG AND USA: SUPPORT ON THE VERGE OF DONOR'S CONFERENCE FOR ALBANIA- NanoTIRANA, OCT 2 (ATA) - "The visits held in Hong-Kong and USA were necessary contacts for the new government," said Albania's Prime Minister, Fatos Nano in a news conference, held Thursday in the Palace of Congresses in Tirana.

With regard to "usuries", Nano restressed the good will of the government to carry out the full transparency of pyramid schemes, beginning from Vefa.
