Bekannte Drogen Boss Clans, fordern mehr Geld in Berlin

18.3.2007 by CrniLabudovi.

Karsai fordert Deutschland zu mehr Investitionen auf

Afghanischer Präsident trifft am Montag Bundeskanzlerin Merkel

Berlin - Der afghanische Präsident Hamid Karsai hat Deutschland und die internationale Staatengemeinschaft aufgefordert, mehr in seinem Land zu investieren. Afghanistan habe einen enormen Bedarf an Wirtschaftsgütern und dem Aufbau von Infrastruktur, sagte er am Sonntagabend vor Journalisten in Berlin. Als Beispiel nannte er den Handy-Markt, der einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Märkte in seinem Land überhaupt sei. Bereits 2,2 Millionen Afghanen hätten Mobiltelefone. Afghanistan sei außerdem ein Land, das “großen Hunger auf Energie hat”, sagte Karsai. Der Energiesektor mit ausreichenden Vorräten an Wasser, Gas und Kohle müsse jedoch noch erschlossen werden. Nur sechs Prozent der Afghanen hätten derzeit einen Zugang zu einer regulären Stromversorgung. Als weitere Beispiele für Investitionen nannte Karsai den Bau von Straßen und Eisenbahnlinien.

Was für eine Dreistigkeit, wenn sein jüngerer Bruder den gesamten Süden in Afghanistan, als mächtigster Drogen Boss beherrscht.

Serbien: Sichergestelltes Waffenarsenal gehörte Wahhabiten

18.3.07 Serbien: Sichergestelltes Waffenarsenal gehörte Wahhabiten Früherer Menschenrechtsminister Ljajic: Gegen islamische Gemeinschaft gerichtet Belgrad - Das Waffenarsenal, das von der Polizei am Freitagabend in einer Grotte unweit von Novi Pazar, dem Verwaltungszentrum vom Sandschak im Südwest-Serbien, sichergestellt wurde, gehörte einer Wahhabitengruppe, teilte die Polizei mit. Vier Personen wurden festgenommen, nach weiteren Gruppenmitgliedern wird gefahndet. “Nicht vom Himmel gefallen” Der frühere Menschenrechtsminister Rasim Ljajic warnte unterdessen, dass die Aktionen der Wahhabiten, radikaler moslemischer Fundamentalisten, gegen die islamische Gemeinschaft in der Region und nicht gegen den Staat gerichtet seien. “Es ist sehr wichtig herauszufinden, woher die Waffen gekommen sind. Sie konnten nicht vom Himmel fallen”, sagte Ljajic gegenüber der staatlichen Presseagentur Tanjug. Im Sandschak lebt die Mehrheit der in Serbien ansässigen Bosniaken (Muslime). In Novi Pazar wurden im Vorjahr zwei Mal größere Probleme mit Wahhabiten registriert. Im vergangenen Juni hatten sie ein Konzert einer Belgrader Musikgruppe im Stadtzentrum unterbrochen. Im November wurden von Wahhabiten Zusammenstöße in der größten städtischen Moschee ausgelöst. In der darauf folgenden Schießerei wurden drei Personen verwundet. Angaben über die Wahhabitenzahl im Sandschak gibt es keine. (APA) http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=2809161

Moscow urges more negotiations on Kosovo’s final status

“If Martti Ahtisaari thinks he has done all he can, then almost certainly one can find another person who will do it”, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday.

Moscow urges more negotiations on Kosovo’s final status

18/03/2007

MOSCOW, Russian Federation — Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called on Saturday (March 17th) for more talks regarding Kosovo’s final status, suggesting that UN special envoy Martti Ahtisaari be replaced with another UN mediator. Lavrov’s call came a few days after Ahtisaari announced the end of fruitless negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina and forwarded his proposal for resolving Kosovo’s status to the UN, despite Serbia’s objections. “If Martti Ahtisaari thinks he has done all he can, then almost certainly one can find another person who will do it,” Lavrov said, suggesting Ahtisaari should have done more to gain Serbian support for the plan. Outgoing Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica described it as a logical move by Russia. But Lavrov also implied that his country, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, would not automatically veto the roadmap.

A spokeswoman for EU security chief Javier reiterated the Union’s support for Ahtisaari’s proposal and its presentation to the UN Security Council. Kosovo is to be a main topic of discussion during a high-level meeting Monday between EU and US officials in Washington.

Russland fordert Ablöse Ahtisaaris

Aber keine Veto-Drohung - Lawrow: “Wir können nicht serbischer als die Serben sein”

Moskau/Prishtina/New York - Russland hat eine Fortführung der Kosovo-Gespräche unter einem neuen UN-Vermittler gefordert. Es sei wichtig, dass Serben und Kosovo-Albaner weiter über den künftigen Status der Provinz verhandelten, sagte Außenminister Sergej Lawrow am Samstag. Sollte der bisherige Vermittler Martti Ahtisaari nicht in der Lage sein, mehr als bisher zu erreichen, so lasse sich auch ein neuer Vermittler finden.

Montenegrin prosecutor says ethnic Albanian group planned terrorist acts

Montenegrin prosecutor says ethnic Albanian group planned terrorist acts

07/11/2006 A group of ethnic Albanians arrested in September had plans to carry out terrorist attacks, Montenegro’s top prosecutor said on Monday. (AP, AKI, RFE/RL - 06/11/06; AP, AFP, DPA, BBC - 10/09/06) Officials say the group allegedly had “detailed plans for terrorist attacks … aimed at intimidating the non-Albanian population” in a southwestern region close to neighbouring Albania.

[SETimes] Montenegrin state prosecutor Vesna Medenica said on Monday (November 6th) that a group of ethnic Albanians, arrested nearly two months ago, is being investigated on a number of charges, including terrorism. On the eve of Montenegro’s September 10th parliamentary elections — the first since the country declared its independence from Serbia in early June — 14 ethnic Albanians were arrested in the southern border town of Tuzi. The detainees, including three US citizens, “represented a danger to the people of Montenegro”, according to police. Reports at the time said that different weapons, including rocket-propelled grenade launchers, mortars, grenades, explosives, machine guns and ammunition, had been found during a raid on houses in the town and in nearby caves. The members of the group, called The Movement for the Rights of Albanians in Montenegro, were planning terrorist attacks in the area of Tuzi, about 20km south of Podgorica and close to the border with Albania, according to Medenica. The aim of the plan, code-named “Eagle Flight,” was to intimidate the non-Albanian population there and gain autonomy for the region, dominated by ethnic Albanians, the AP quoted the prosecutor as saying. Listing 18 suspects, a report in the Montenegrin daily Dan suggested on Tuesday that members of the group are being investigated on charges including involvement in terrorism and activities, aimed at upsetting the constitutional order and security. Some of the financial support the group received allegedly came from members of the Albanian diaspora in the West, mainly from immigrants in the United States, which helped it secure the weapons, munitions, forged documents and other means needed to carry out the plans. Italian news agency AKI also quoted Medenica as saying the group maintained close ties with former members of the now disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army, with whom it planned to carry out joint terrorist attacks. Ethnic Albanians account for about 5% of Montenegro’s population of 620,000 people and are generally on good terms with the government. Following the September arrests, an ethnic Albanian party leader in Tuzi said they were “politically motivated,” as most of the suspects were either party supporters or candidates. “Life does not halt in the days before the elections,” the BBC quoted Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic as commenting at the time, rejecting the accusations. “Thieves steal on these days, murderers kill … and those ready to execute terrorist actions are preparing for that.” Commenting on some of the detainees’ reported claims that they had been tortured by police officers while in custody, Medenica promised such allegations would be investigated. If proven, those who mistreated the suspects would be punished, she said.

Gerhard Schröder, Gasprom und dubiose Geschäfte

19. Juli 2006

UNDER SCRUTINY: HOW THE TRADER AT THE CENTRE OF UKRAINE’S GAS DISPUTE FACES QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS PAST Demands for greater clarity about Dmytro Firtash’s past COMMENT AND ANALYSIS: By Tom Warner Financial Times, London, United Kingdom, Friday, July 14 2006 As leaders of the Group of Eight industrialised nations meet in St Petersburg tomorrow with energy high on the agenda, the spotlight is again turning on Dmytro Firtash. Mr Firtash, a secretive Ukrainian businessman, has emerged as a key player in the European gas market at a time of heightened anxiety about security of supply. He disclosed this year that he was the co-owner, along with Russia’s Gazprom, of RosUkrEnergo, a joint venture that plays a central role in shipping gas from Russia and central Asia to Ukraine and the west. Calls by the US for a renegotiation of the contract for RosUkrEnergo to supply gas to Ukraine - which ended a January stand-off between Moscow and Kiev but opened the way to much higher prices - could fuel friction during this weekend’s summit. In disclosing his co-ownership of RosUkrEnergo, Mr Firtash was responding in particular to allegations aired in the Ukrainian parliament that RosUkrEnergo’s owners included Semyon Mogilevich, an alleged Russian crime boss who appears on the FBI’s most wanted list. Some Ukrainian politicians are now calling for a formal investigation into the allegation, which was made by Viktor Taran, a member of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc - one of five political parties vying for supremacy amid a political stalemate. Mr Taran said in a February debate: “Our faction was first to talk about the corrupt structure of RosUkrEnergo and we named among its owners [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, the criminal authority Semyon Mogilevich, Dmytro Firtash, representatives of the new Ukrainian government and their relatives.” In an interview with the FT in April, the 41-year-old Mr Firtash admitted knowing Mr Mogilevich, having first met him in Moscow in the early 1990s, but denied they had ever done business together. His rebuttal has, however, not dispelled the doubts surrounding the control of RosUkrEnergo and demands for greater clarity about Mr Firtash’s past. Ms Tymoshenko, a former prime minister who is expected to be either the main opposition leader or a leading candidate if new elections are called, is one of Mr Firtash’s most outspoken critics. Her bloc said in a recent press statement that Mr Firtash’s disclosure had “done little to mollify concerns” about RosUkrEnergo’s ownership. The bloc said it would continue to push for a new gas deal in which Ukraine would deal directly with Gazprom and Ros-UkrEnergo would be excluded. Hryhory Nemyria, a member of parliament in Ms Tymoshenko’s bloc, told the Financial Times the bloc would support “a full investigation” of Ros-UkrEnergo and hoped for co-operation from US, European and Russian law enforcement agencies. “We see an investigation as a necessary step to bring transparency and restore trust. There should be full disclosure of the people behind Ros-UkrEnergo and how it obtained its position,” Mr Nemyria said. The US has also continued to criticise both the gas deal and RosUkrEnergo. In a recent Senate confirmation hearing, William Taylor, the new US ambassador to Ukraine, said: “There is this shadowy, apparently unknown organisation that plays a major role (delivering gas to Ukraine).” Mr Taylor added: “This is one of (the new government’s) big decisions they’ll have to make right away. If the new government decides it wants to reconsider this deal, we have indicated we will support that.” Carlos Pascual, a predecessor of Mr Taylor’s who is now at the Brookings Institution, a think tank, last month called for the European Union to join the US in supporting a renegotiation of Ukraine’s gas contracts. Writing in the Washington Post, Mr Pascual described Ros-UkrEnergo’s ownership structure as “murky”. An FT investigation has found that Mr Firtash had connections with several of Mr Mogilevich’s associates in 2001-04. When he was presented with this evidence in the interview, Mr Firtash did not deny any of the documented details found by the FT but insisted that he had not done business with Mr Mogilevich. For example, Mr Firtash admitted that from 2001 to 2003, Galina Telesh - with whom Mr Mogilevich is believed to be in a long-standing relationship - owned one-third of a Cyprus-registered company of which Mr Firtash was part-owner and director. But Mr Firtash said he never met or spoke to Ms Telesh and did not know her background. “I have never been a partner of Mogilevich,” he said. Mr Firtash, who started by trading consumer goods in western Ukraine, said he moved to Moscow in about 1990 in search of bigger markets. He subsequently developed his business during a decade of supplying goods to Turkmenistan in a triangular barter trade, in which various gas traders paid him and received gas from the Turkmen government in return. He admitted to having been secretive but insisted he had always operated legally. Until 2001, said Mr Firtash, he did his barter trades through a series of temporary companies each used for just one or two deals and he thus never appeared as director or owner of any of them. At no time did he do business with Mr Mogilevich, he said. Mr Firtash said his role in the barter business grew when he joined Highrock Holding in 2001, initially as director and one-third owner. Then in 2002 he established a company called Eural Trans Gas, which he said won for itself the role of Ukraine’s sole supplier of Turkmen gas by offering better terms than the previous supplier - Itera, a Russian gas company. Ros-UkrEnergo took over that role in 2005 after Gazprom insisted on having a stake in the business, he said. Mr Firtash said that his partner in Highrock had been Igor Makarov, Itera’s president, and that Mr Makarov was responsible for Ms Telesh’s involvement at Highrock. However, Mr Makarov said he was never involved in Highrock in any way. The FT also found other connections between Mr Firtash and Mogilevich associates, which Mr Firtash explained in other ways. Mr Mogilevich is regarded by the US as a powerful international crime boss. A FBI agent who investigated Mr Mogilevich’s gang described him in a Justice Department publication in 2003 as “the boss of more than 300 criminal associates operating in more than 30 countries” whose “activities included murder, extortion, trafficking in women for prostitution, smuggling, money-laundering, bank and securities fraud, and, in numerous countries,the corruption of public officials”. An Israeli police report obtained by the FT gave a similar description and said he was also engaged in armstrafficking. In 2003, Mr Mogilevich and three associates were indicted in the US on racketeering, securities fraud, money-laundering and other charges for their alleged roles in the collapse of YBM Magnex, a listed Canadian company that had its headquarters in the US. There are standing international arrest warrants for Mr Mogilevich and two associates, who are believed to be living in Russia. The third associate was arrested in the US and has co-operated with US investigators. Wolfgang Putschek, one of Mr Firtash’s bankers at Austria’s Raiffeisen Bank, said the bank had voluntarily given information about RosUkrEnergo to the US Justice Department. Mr Putschek said Raiffeisen had “thoroughly screened” Mr Firtash. The banker said: “There were three questions our compliance department had to answer. First, did the client have any links to criminal activities? Second, did the client have any links to known criminals? The answer to both was a clear ‘no’. “The third question was, did the client have any links to known criminals in the past? In the course of answering that question, some issues came up. But they were explained. That is, they were cleared off.” Last year Ukraine’s SBU national security police, headed at the time by an ally of Ms Tymoshenko, announced that it was investigating suspicions that Mr Mogilevich indirectly controlled RosUkrEnergo. But the investigation was dropped after a new SBU chief was appointed in September. In January, Oleg Palchikov, a Ros-UkrEnergo co-chief executive, rebutted the allegation in an appearance on Ukrainian television. He said: “As for the odious and mysterious personality of Mr Mogilevich, I think it is very useful for those engaged in smear campaigns. Using the opportunity of speaking live on the air, I would like to stress that our company has nothing whatsoever to do with this individual.” Gazprom officials have said they are pleased with Ros-UkrEnergo and have described Mr Firtash as an accomplished businessman. Alexander Ryazonov, a Gazprom deputy chairman, told a Russian newspaper last month he was “not surprised” by Mr Firtash’s disclosure of his stake in RosUkrEnergo. “Firtash has worked many years with Turkmen gas and he has a good position in business circles in Ukraine. My impression of him is OK,” he said. Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine’s president, has said he knows little about RosUkrEnergo, which he added was chosen by Gazprom to be Ukraine’s supplier. He told the FT in an interview this year: “There has always been some Russian structure that transits Turkmen gas across Russia. Ukraine has never had any connection to the formation of these structures.” Mr Firtash said of the president’s stance on the issue: “I think Yushchenko was very correct when he said, ‘I will tear up the contract [with Ros-UkrEnergo] only in one circumstance - when the price will be lower’.” —————————— —————————————————————— DISPUTED LINKS TO AN ALLEGED CRIME BOSS In an April interview, the Financial Times asked Dmytro Firtash about evidence from official records in Russia, Israel and Cyprus of his connections to associates of Semyon Mogilevich, an alleged crime boss. Here are his explanations and, where available, those of others involved. [1] June 2003 Mr Firtash replaced Galina Telesh (a woman with whom an Israeli police report said Mr Mogilevich had been in a relationship since the early 1990s) as director of the Cyprus-registered Agatheas Trading. Later, Agatheas became direct one-third owner of Highrock Holding, another Cyprus-registered company, where Mr Firtash had been director since 2001. According to a Hungarian intelligence report obtained by the FT, Ms Telesh and Mr Mogilevich were married in 1995. Mr Firtash accepted that Ms Telesh beneficially owned one-third of Highrock’s shares until June 2003. However, Mr Firtash said he never knew Ms Telesh. He said his partner in Highrock was Igor Makarov, president of Itera, a Russian gas trader. Mr Firtash said his involvement as director and one-third owner of Highrock was set up by Yelena Yargina, his lawyer, while ownership of the remainder was arranged by Itera’s lawyers. “Yelena worked with Itera’s lawyers. “We don’t know about this,” Mr Firtash said. Mr Firtash said that after he fell out with Mr Makarov in late 2002, he took full control of Highrock and “cleaned it up”, which eventually led to him taking over as director and owner of Agatheas in June 2003. Mr Makarov, however, who replied to written questions through a spokesman, said neither he nor Itera had ever had any economic interest in Highrock or undertaken any role in setting up Highrock or its parent companies. The FT asked Mr Firtash to provide evidence that Mr Makarov was involved in Highrock and was later shown part of a report by Kroll, the private investigator, which said Highrock was jointly established by Itera and Mr Firtash. However, the part of the report seen by the FT did not explain why Kroll believed Itera was involved in Highrock. Mr Firtash said his bank, Raiffeisen, commissioned the Kroll report. [2] November 2002 Igor Fisherman, one of three associates indicted with Mr Mogilevichin the US in April 2003, registered a car with Moscow traffic police and gave as his personal contact a telephone number that rang to Highrock’s offices in Moscow, at Novy Arbat 14. Mr Firtash said Mr Fisherman never worked at Novy Arbat 14 or came into the office. “I don’t know why he gave that telephone number, but I can say for certain he didn’t sit there and didn’t work there.” [3] March 2002 Elmstad Trading, another Cyprus-registered company owned by Mr Firtash, transferred ownership in a Russian company called Rinvey in three roughly equal parts to Ms Telesh, Ms Yargina and Olga Zhunzhurova, who is Mr Fisherman’s wife, according to the US indictment. Rinvey then acquired stakes in Moscow perfume retailers. Ms Yargina co-owned Rinvey until April 2003 and continued to work for Mr Firtash throughout this period. Mr Firtash acknowledged that Ms Yargina had joined Rinvey at his direction but he said he could not remember why he had asked her to do so. He said he had no involvement in Rinvey, its business and no ties to its other owners. “It’s not my business. It’s obvious I couldn’t do that business,” he said. Mr Firtash said he asked Ms Yargina to end her involvement with Rinvey “when we were cleaning up”. He said she still works for him. [4] November 2001 An Israeli lawyer called Zeev Gordon helped set up a Highrock subsidiary in Israel called Highrock Properties. From December 2002 until early 2004, Mr Gordon was nominal (paper) owner of one-quarter of Eural Trans Gas, a company beneficially owned by Mr Firtash. Mr Gordon told the FT he counted Mr Mogilevich as a client and a friend. Mr Firtash said his relationship with Mr Gordon had nothing to do with Mr Gordon’s relationship with Mr Mogilevich. Mr Firtash said Mr Gordon had many Russian- speaking clients: “When I asked Gordon, ‘Why do you have to work with Mogilevich?’ he said ‘Listen Dima, it’s my business, just like you trade in gas. I’m a criminal lawyer’.” Mr Gordon said in a telephone interview he had been asked by Mr Firtash to help with Highrock and Eural, that Mr Mogilevich denied any involvement in Eural Trans Gas or RosUkrEnergo and that he did not know whether Mr Mogilevich was involved in Highrock. -30- —————————————————————————————————- LINK: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/29f06170-12a2-11db-aecf-0000779e2340.html

(World Economic Forum, WEF), kritisiert die Mafia Geschäfte der Vorgänger Regierung unter Fatos Nano und dem Ex-Wirtschafts Minister Anastas Angjeli und die Politik des scheidenden Tourismus Minister Bujar Leskaj

18.3.2007 by CrniLabudovi.

Das Weltwirtschaftsforum (World Economic Forum, WEF) ist eine private Stiftung mit Sitz in Genf. Neben zahlreichen regionalen Anlässen organisiert die Stiftung jährlich im Januar eine Jahrestagung - meist im schweizerischen Davos, in welcher sich Wirtschaftsführer, Politiker und Persönlichkeiten aus der Gesellschaft treffen. Häufig wird die Abkürzung WEF mit dem Jahrestreffen gleichgesetzt.

…………………….

Klaus Schwab, geboren in Deutschland, legte 1969 als Professor für Wirtschaft an der Universität Genf den Grundstein für das WEF und startete 1971 die European Management Conference, die 1987 in World Economic Forum umbenannt wurde.

„Ich dachte mir, Europa aufzurütteln und den Leuten die fortschrittlichsten Management-Konzepte vorzustellen sei eine gute Sache“, so Klaus Schwab.

Das erste Forum war ein voller Erfolg. Dank immer globalerer Ausrichtung der Unternehmen gewann es mehr und mehr an Bedeutung. In den 80er Jahren nahmen dann auch Vertreter aus Politik und Wissenschaft am WEF teil. Inzwischen ist das WEF einer der größten Anlässe seiner Art, hat ein Budget von rund 60 Mio. USD und kooperiert mit zwischenstaatlichen Institutionen wie der WTO, der Weltbank und dem IWF.

Kreu i bordit të KESH- it, raport kundër Leskajt për turizm

Lajme te ngjashme
 

/03/2007 - 10:15
• Faktet bëhen prezente nga raporti i Global Economic Forum, mbi konkurrueshmërinë në Turizëm, publikuar këtë muaj, por me të dhënat e marra në vitin 2006.

Kush e ka besuar deri dje se Shqipëria mund të ishte një destinacion turistik, e ka pasur gjithçka të kotë. Këtë rradhë, faktet bëhen prezente nga raporti i Global Economic Forum, në raportin e vet të vitit 2007 mbi konkurrueshmërinë në Turizëm, publikuar këtë muaj, por me të dhënat e marra në vitin 2006.
Shqipëria renditet në raport në vendin e 90, në 124 vende që janë analizuar nga ky forum, por ndër vendet e rajonit, sërish vendi ynë mbetet i fundit. Sigurisht, për nga kapacitetet turistike dhe tërheqjen e turistëve të huaj, vendin e parë e mban në rajonin tonë Greqia, kjo për shumë arsye. E menjëherë pas saj vjen Kroacia në vendin e dytë, Serbi e Mali i Zi në vendin e tretë, para nesh është Maqedonia, dhe vendi ynë mbetet në fund, në vendin e 90 në rajon.
Sipas analizave të raportit, shumë pak është bërë për të përmirësuar të dhënat e turizmit në vendin tonë, dhe këto fakte vijnë vetëm pak kohë pasi qeveria shqiptare me marrjen e mandatit në vitin 2005 e konsideroi Turizmin si një ndër prioritetet kryesore të vendit, dhe si industrinë që do të sillte në të njëjtën kohë më shumë të ardhura për vetë vendin. Për këtë qëllim, një pjesë e mirë e buxhetit dhe investimeve kryesore të qeverisë do të shkonin në zonat turistike, një fakt që duket se e nxjerr vendin tonë zbuluar me të dhënat e paraqitura në këtë raport.
Habia
Në fakt, specialistët e Global Economic Forum, nuk kanë ardhur në Shqipëri për të parë sesi është realiteti në vend. Këtë rradhë, oponentët kryesorë të punës së ministrit të Turizmit Bujar Leskaj, janë bërë disa eksponentë që punojnë sot për qeverinë “Berisha”. Sipas të dhënave të raportit, për të bërë të mundur hartimin e tij në Shqipëri, është kontraktuar Instituti i Studimeve Bashkëkohore, (ISB) si institut partner i Global Economic Forum me President Artan Hoxhën dhe në detyrën e kërkuesit të të dhënave Ilir Cikon dhe Julia Dhimitrin. Këta tre persona, kanë nisur drejt Zvicrës të dhënat kryesore për të ndërtuar raportin për turizmin për Shqipërinë, që do të shërbente ndërkohë si bazë krahasimi për vendet e tjera.
Ajo që bie në sy është fakti se zoti Hoxha, sot është i punësuar si kryetar i Këshillit Mbikqyrës së Bordit të KESH, i emëruar në këtë detyrë nga ministri i Ekonomisë dhe Energjetikës Genc Ruli. Ndërsa zoti Ciko, ka qenë më parë zv,ministër i ekonomisë në qeverisjen socialiste, por për shkak të kontradiktave që pati në atë kohë me ish ministrin Anastas Angjeli për shitjen e aksioneve të Albtelekom, u shkarkua nga detyra e zv.ministrit dhe filloi punë në këtë OJQ private. E për këtë punë të kryer, zyrtarët e ISB janë paguar. Por ndërkohë puna që kanë bërë, ka nxjerrë në dritë të vërtetat reale për turizmin shqiptar, duke mos fshehur aspak realitetin dhe gjendjen aktuale pavarësisht premtimeve.
Angazhimi
Në vitin 2005 qeveria e re e demokratëve e kryesuar nga Sali Berisha e vendosi turizmin si një ndër prioritetet kryesore të punës së Këhsillit

Irak, Shqipëria dërgon kontingjent të ri trupash

B.S
17-03-2007

Komando shqiptare gjate nisjes per Irak
TIRANË- Është zhvilluar dje ceremonia e përcjelljes së kontingjentit të ri të Trupave Komando, që do të marrin pjesë në misionin e NATO-s në Irak. Kompania e trupave komando, njësitë elitë të Ushtrisë Shqiptare, do të vendosen ashtu si dhe kontingjentet e tjera në Veri të Irakut, në qytetin e dytë më të madh të tij, Mosul. Ata do të jenë në përbërje të një brigade shumëkombëshe të drejtuar nga Shtetet e Bashkuara.Kompania shqiptare është e kompletuar me të gjitha materialet teknike, pajisje dhe armatime që i përgjigjen nevojave të misionit dhe vetëm një pjesë e mbështetjes logjistike realizohet nga forcat amerikane. Trupat Komando Shqiptare janë të angazhuara në ruajtjen e Aeroportit të Mosulit, patrullime në qytete, shoqërimin e autokolonave ushtarake apo civile, e deri në shpërndarjen e ndihmave të ndryshme për popullsinë e atjeshme.

Që prej vitit 2003, Ushtria Shqiptare iu bashkua koalicionit ndërkombëtar në Irak të drejtuar nga Shtetet e Bashkuara. Trupat e saj veprojnë në misione paqeruajtëse dhe në Bosnje e Afganistan, ndërsa pas pak muajsh pritet që një njësi tjetër të marrë pjesë edhe në Liban, nën komandën italiane.

Me dislokimin e forcave shqiptare në Mosul, janë kryer një sërë detyrash të rëndësishme, si sigurimi i Aeroportit të Mosulit, në bashkëveprim me një kompani tankesh amerikane, detyra patrullimi në qytet ku, në bashkëveprim me ushtarët amerikane, forcat shqiptare kanë mundësuar zbulimin e armëve, municioneve, kapjen e personave që i posedonin ato duke i dërguar ato pranë organeve kompetente amerikane. Forcat komando gjithashtu janë angazhuar në vendosjen e qetësisë në pikat e karburantit, të shpërndarjes së gazit, si dhe të mbajtjes në kontroll të trenave që lëvizin në qytet.
