TIRANA, 27 May 2015 - The OSCE Secretary General, Lamberto Zannier, today concluded a two-day visit to Tirana, during which he participated as a special guest at the summit of Heads of State and Government of the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) and met with Albania’s highest officials. Throughout his visit, he emphasized that regional co-operation is key to ensuring peace, security and stability.
“Recent events in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have highlighted why we all need to keep working to strengthen stability and security in the region, as well as the importance of collective engagement in promoting dialogue, tolerance and non-discrimination throughout South-East Europe,” said Zannier.
Zannier noted that the OSCE has played a significant role in the post-conflict transition process in the region through its Institutions and field operations, and that, twenty years on, the Organization remains fully committed to supporting the efforts of the South-East European countries to strengthen democratic institutions and the rule of law and to promote respect for human rights.
He noted that the 2015 Serbian OSCE Chairmanship has set intensifying regional co-operation in the Western Balkans as a priority, creating a positive agenda aimed at advancing reconciliation processes.
While pointing out significant progress, Zannier said that there are new challenges facing the region that can only be tackled through a joint regional approach. “The phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters is a particularly alarming security threat which affects many parts of the world, including the Western Balkan region.”
Regional co-operation and OSCE assistance to Albania were discussed in the Secretary General’s meetings with President of Albania Bujar Nishani, Assembly Speaker Ilir Meta, Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati and Chair of the opposition Democratic Party Lulzim Basha.
The upcoming local government elections set for 21 June, which are being observed by an OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission, were also discussed. Zannier underscored the importance of free and fair elections.
Secretary General Zannier and Minister of Defence Mimi Kodheli participated in an event marking the conclusion of the second phase of a project to remove and destroy highly hazardous chemicals stored near populated areas. In all, 116 tonnes of chemicals that are toxic to both people and the environment have been safely packaged and will be transported abroad for destruction. This project, which is run by the OSCE Presence in Albania with financial support from the Czech Republic, Turkey, Germany, Austria and Norway, has made a significant contribution to improving the security and safety of the people of Albania.

TIRANA, 27 May 2015 - One hundred sixteen tonnes of hazardous chemicals will be shipped out of Albania from today for safe destruction thanks to a project run by the OSCE Presence in Albania, with the financial support of several OSCE participating States.
Before the project got underway, the chemicals were being stored near inhabited areas in their severely damaged packaging, putting both people’s lives and the environment at risk. In 2013, the chemicals were repackaged according to international safety standards and moved to a secure location for storage near Tirana.
“This project exemplifies the mutual trust and effective co-operation between the Albanian authorities and the OSCE Presence,” OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier said at a ceremony marking the start of the shipping and destruction phase of the project, organized today at the storage premises.
“With OSCE support, Albania has made impressive progress on demilitarization in recent years. I encourage Albania to continue its efforts to tackle the challenge of unexploded military ordnance and become a regional centre of excellence on demilitarization processes,” he added.
Albanian Defence Minister Mimi Kodheli said that this project is an important first step toward the ultimate goal of safely destroying all surplus hazardous chemicals in Albania.
The Head of the OSCE Presence in Albania, Ambassador Florian Raunig, as well as ambassadors and representatives of the Czech Republic, Turkey, Germany, Austria and Norway, countries which financially supported the project, attended the ceremony.
The OSCE Presence has been assisting Albania in its efforts to safely destroy surplus conventional ammunition and dangerous toxic chemicals since 2008. The OSCE Presence has already helped to dispose of 60 tonnes of a toxic rocket fuel component known as mélange and 120 tonnes of dichloromethane, and provided equipment for the destruction of surplus ammunition.

May 27, 2015 (JUBA) - The government of South Sudan's Western Equatoria state has warned of a likely outbreak of a new rebellion in the area should authorities fail to address insecurity concerns in the region.
“The situation can be become rebellion only if authorities fail to answer the cry of the people for security and not rough SPLA soldiers and we are asking Army headquarters to change these units for better understanding and cooperative units who can live in harmony with the citizens of the area.”, Western Equatoria state information minister Charles Barnaba Kisanga said in a statement.
Minister Kisanga, in a statement Sudan Tribune obtained, denied that there was a rebellion in the area despite announcement by army spokesman that a new 'rebel' group was formed.
Colonel Philip Aguer, spokesman of the government forces announced on Monday that a new rebellion has formed in the state, “There is a new rebel movement in Western Equatoria state. Security reported that somebody called Charles Balogore under Wesley Waluba” leads the rebellion”, said Aguer.
But state government spokesperson dismissed the reports of rebellion as “not true” and these reports were “one sided” and not taking into account of things into consideration” from state administration.”
“I stand by our earlier story that it was local youth who reacted to the looting and destruction by SPLA unit in Mundri on Friday 22nd May 2015 and took control. The Youth were angry at the assassination of their Executive Director plus random gunfire perpetuated by the army then,” Kisanga explained.
The minister however admitted that there was attack on the government troops by unknown, citing the presence of some cattle keepers who had reportedly carried attacks before the incident in the area.
“Yes there was unknown gunmen who attacked some group of SPLA soldiers at night on Rumbek/Maridi roads junction but also some remnants of cattle raiders/rustlers had been attacking cars and civilians along the road in the area for sometimes and just a few days before the junction incident, two civilians were killed in circumstances related to the tension between cattle raiders/pastoralists, local civilians and the army and so the whole episode then was related to the previous tension with cattle raiders in the area”, he explained.
Minister Kisanga further out that the death of the county executive director John Cleopa cannot be blamed on rebels because he was surrounded by security forces “all around” while he was inspecting the scene of the shooting where SPLA soldiers had been killed when he was killed.
“It seemed one member from the security forces moved a bit aside and opened fire killing the Executive Director and fire was also directed at the commissioner Hon Hassan Bhakeit who had to duck to escape the bullets and even his car was later hit.” he said.

Többek között embercsempészettel és illegális határátlépéssel vádolja a rendőrség azt a horgosi testvérpárt (1959 és 1956) és egy ötvenhárom éves palicsi férfit, akiket azzal gyanúsítanak, hogy az elmúlt fél évben, néhány magyarországi állampolgárral karöltve, pénz ellenében menekülteket vezettek át a zöldhatáron. A menekülteket az egyikük toborozta, majd a két testvér juttatta át őket Magyarországra, kihasználva tanyáik közelségét.
A tanyákon két török útlevélre, mintegy hatezer eurónyi pénzösszegre és egy optikai célzóval és hangtompítóval felszerelt kis kaliberű puskára bukkantak a belügyi szervek. Ezért a fenti vádak mellett fegyverek és robbanóeszközök jogosulatlan tartása miatt is feljelentették őket. A rendőrségi akció keretében, a magyar és a szerb rendőrség együttműködésének köszönhetően, egy magyar állampolgár házában 6,5 kilogramm heroint és 48 kilogramm paracetamol fájdalom-, illetve lázcsillapító tablettát is elkoboztak.
