G – We lost all day there today for the border permit, we got up at 7 o’clock.
B – Then she was also seen, the others gave it to you yesterday, as they had asked for it, they took it in front of us, here is the boy who was with that girl, and they took it.
G – When did he get cholera then?
B – Albania closed the border with Yugoslavia, Greece and Italy and all the people were vaccinated.
G – All and there.
B – Even there, wow!
G – Yes, in schools and everywhere.
D – What do they call that fat man we met on the street?
G – Rexho.
D – What about the woman?
B – Woman, Museum.
G – (Looking at the map), from here we are far from Tirana, how close is the border here!
B – Yes.
G – Let us come to Struga, to see what Mehmeti (husband) has done, if it will be realized, to have a house in Struga, to come there immediately, for three or four hours.
B – No, for me it is not that job.
G – Even to open the border?
B – No.
G – Why, even if the border is opened and you do not come?
B – No, for me it is not that job.
G – Even to open the border!
B – No, no.
G – Still not?
B – No, no.
G – Why not?
B – As long as I am a fugitive there, it is enough for you to come from time to time, to come once and for all, only if there is a big change in Yugoslavia, then, another job. It seems to me that they did not give any permission today to Butrint, and that boy, too, was told the day after tomorrow.
G – Like that?
D – Did not Enver Hoxha come, who shout like this (there is a rally).
B – No.
D – Where is he in Gjirokastra?
B – No, in Tirana, he is the greatest of Albanians.
D – Is he in Tirana?
B – Yes, in Tirana.
D – Can you find Enver Hoxha if you walk in Tirana?
B – No, no, he stays in the office, works, has a job. Are you happy to meet Uncle Enver?
D – Yes.
B – How much he loves children, children who love him as a parent, he loves them very much.
G – When they followed us…!
B – Who was following you?
G – Those from Prishtina, we saw a bus there, we were in front of them, they were following, yesterday when we stopped in Bari, we were going to Gjakova, to those mountains that have many turns.
B – I remembered the Bar of Italy, then when we found out that he was Albanian?
G – Then they stopped there.
B – Even Mehmeti, gave him strength with Fiqon.
G – And they said: you are Albanians; we remembered that you were Macedonians.
B – The program prevents the assimilation of the subject due to overload in foreign languages and insufficient time for the main subject, such as language and mathematics, the Albanian language that has a busy program, cannot be assimilated with four hours per week, so students, remain half-dead. That’s right…?!
G – Right.
B – Two hours of Albanian language are assigned to Macedonian. But is that right? Macedonian has been put, right?
G – Macedonian, you write like that.
B – Great job, our request to add language classes, it is not seen, now, to write when the requests are made.
G – These are my thoughts at last, I have told you, and if they are not entirely correct, so be it.
B – No, it is a matter of being accurate and studying in the Ministry of Education and in case of need, they write in newspapers, we have connected these things with schools, with four hours the language cannot be assimilated.
G – No way
B – In this school progress, who is it? Bajram Krifca, Idajeti, other…?
G – They are in Tetovo, they are members, there is a Selaudin Meçe here, it is Stefa Zorga.
B – Is Selaudin Meçe?
G – Not Selaudini, his brother, Rexhep Meço.
B – He, Zorga, will be dirty…?
G – He is very dirty.
B – He really came from Albania, but those who come from Albania, more degenerate, more Slavic, there is no faith in them, he is the same as Umjani, and Umjani, is Albanian.
G – Do you know how beautiful he speaks Albanian, Tosk Albanian, very dirty, very wicked!
B – I want to mention, that Bajram Krifca, and that other scoundrel, Servet Saliu, these are in education?
G – This Servet is in power, while Bajrami is in education, remember Bajram Krifca?
B – Very little, dibran is he?
G – Dibran.
B – I remember Servetus, there is no one less prepared than him, and he is very weak!

B – Yes, he has his mother tongue Albanian.
G – A Ramadan Life, Remember?
B – Hysen Ramadani?

B – But why?
G – This is Skopje, Hysen Ramadani and this Life Ramadani, he is in the Executive Council, Hysen Ramadani, he is in the Central Committee, I knew them. Many people had hope from Hysen Ramadani, that for a while he seemed to want to support the Albanian people, from that situation, there were many people separated, people saw what they were, he was represented, and he took an important position.
