Mother of the missing students arrived to Albania in order to
thank to everyone who are helping with the search and to ask the
representatives of the catholic, muslim and orthodox religion as
well as all other people of good will for continuous support in
the search. Mother believes in a successful end of the search. 

After the arrival, mother together with the accompanying rescue
team has contacted the Albanian media and provided first
interviews.

The team was also admitted by the Czech Embassy in Tirana. At the
occassion, the Czech ambassador Mr. Sindelar announced that he
would contact the Czech Embassy in Beograd in order to ask them
for a search action to be set off in Macedonia, Kosovo and Monte
Negro as well. This activity follows the possibility that the
missing students could have crossed the albanian border to one of
the neighbour countries.

Mr. Sindelar announced also that the reward declared by the
Albanian government for any information that would lead to
discovery of the students had been increased to USD 40.000.- .
