[01] Besnik Mustafaj, candidate for Prize Medicis in FranceTIRANE, Sept.26 (ata) - By K Shehu: The novel "Boshi" (Vanity) by the renowned Albanian writer Besnik Mustafaj, is one of the candidates for the prize Medicis, the most important annual prize in France for foreign and French literature, the Publishing House Onufri told ATA on Saturday.The novel published a year ago in Albanian by this publishing house and in French by the publishing house Albin Mishel in Paris, has been selected from ten contesting books for the prize, which is expected to be granted on November 5, 1999. The novel "Boshi" reflects Albania before 90s, during which, according to the author, "the relations between people were rather cold and limited." The term "dictatorship", although found in none of the pages of the novel, is felt in the atmosphere the author created with his book and in the vanity of the relations between the characters in the novel. /led/xh/ D'Arc Avenue 23, Tirana, Albania E-Mail: Albanian Telegraphic Agency[02] Rally of poetry in GjakovePRISHTINE, Sept.26 (ata) - The Rally of Poetry was held in Gjakove with the participation of poets and writers from Kosove, Albania and all Albanian diaspora, sources from Kosove told ATA.The rally was preceded by a visit of writers in Prekaz of Drenica to the house of Jashari family, where a literary hour was held. /led/xh/ D'Arc Avenue 23, Tirana, Albania E-Mail: Albanian Telegraphic Agency[03] Mined zones continue to be a danger in north AlbaniaHAS, Sept. 26 (ata) - By Riza Hoxha: The mined zones on northeast border of Albania continue to cause victims among the people there.
