		Sali Berisha, a northerner from Tropoje, just five kilometers from the Albanian-Serbian border, enjoys the limitless support of the people in the region, and he employs, in the Democratic party, many northerners.
		Berisha’s ambition got in the way of his smarts, and he wasn’t able to capitalize on the chaos his supporters had created in the capitol.
		But, Berisha believed he had the nation behind him, and the government on the run, so in exchange for the tanks, he demanded the government step down, and a new government of national reconciliation be set up until elections could be held.

		Berisha cultivated close ties to all the main Kosovo leaders in the 1990s and formed a particularly close relationship to the late president, Ibrahim Rugova.

		Prime Minister Sali Berisha has had a relatively easy start to his term as prime minister, helped by the fact that his prominence is not being questioned from within the ruling coalition.
		Prime Minister Berisha was forced to resign the presidency in 1997, after an anti-government uprising had produced early parliamentary elections and a landslide victory for the Socialist Party (PS).
		Berisha argued that the increase of public administration wages has been done with the advice of the International Monetary Fund and as part of the electoral promises that Democratic Party did.

		Berisha, however, said that while it is true that there is a "Slav group" in Albania, it is not certain whether their origin is "Bulgarian or Macedonia".
		This marks Berisha's evolution from a "well-intended friend" of Macedonia and "peace-maker" in the Balkans into a militant advocate of a Greater-Albania and yet another denier of the Macedonian state and people.
		It is by no means an accident that Berisha chose to radicalize in a negative sense relations with Macedonia right now when there is a pending withdrawal of UN troops from Croatia and probably from Bosnia, thus creating the possibility of a spillover of the Bosnian war.

		The proximate cause for recent widespread disaffection with the Berisha government is its perceived failure to protect Albanians from painful economic losses sustained in the collapse of several fraudulent investment funds that functioned essentially as pyramid schemes.
		Berisha then agreed to hold early elections by June 1 and appointed Fino, a Socialist former mayor from the south, on March 11 to head a government of national reconciliation.
		The Clinton Administration, which pressured Berisha into entering a coalition government with his longtime enemies, must take strong action to assure that the Socialists abide by their commitment to restore law and order in the rebellious south and comply with its agreement with Berisha.

		At first there were illusions about the benefits that capitalism would bring, but after the fraudulent election of Sali Berisha in 1992, people quickly changed their minds.
		During 1996 the social climate became explosive due to the failure of almost all economic activity, the crisis of education, the failure to pay pensions, mass unemployment, the lack of goods of prime necessity and the fall in living standards generally.
		We know, for instance, that despite a political coup that at first seemed successful, Berisha lost the election that followed and that the pathetic attempt to restore the Albanian monarchy did not survive a referendum held at the same time as the election.
