policy inclination would be to “sacrifice” our vital interests for the

corridor Durres-Istanbuland
and its angular extension across the

According to the declaration of the present Italian Prime

Prodi, this project represents a sure prospective to the development
not only of Albania but also of the back warded South Italy.
