An unknown letter of Fiqret Shehu...
NEXHMIE HOXHA AND FIQIRET SHEHU

Tashmë janë të njohura favoret që kishin pasardhësit e ish-Byrosë Politike. Në një kohë kur qytetarët shqiptarë duhej të merrnin lejë për të vizituar të afërmit e tyre, e sidomos në qytetet e zonat kufitare, pinjollët e anëtarëve të Byrosë Politike lëviznin lirshëm në Perëndim, e madje shkonin edhe për t’u arsimuar. I tillë është rasti i djalit të dytë të ish-Kryeministrit Mehmet Shehu, Skënderi, i cili u dërgua në vitin 1979 të zhvillonte studime pasuniversitare, për një periudhë katër vjeçare në Stokholm, Suedi. Gjithsesi, në fund të vitit 1981, atij ju desh të ndërpriste studimet dhe të kthehej para kohe në Shqipëri, pak ditë para se Mehmet Shehu të vriste veten më 18 dhjetor 1981.

Më poshtë, nga Arkivi i Ministrisë së Punëve të Brendshme po sjellim një letër që gruaja e kryeministrit, Fiqret Shehu, më 18 shtator 1979 ja dërgonte ambasadorit shqiptar në Stockholm, ku i kërkonte që ai të kujdesej për rregullimin sa më të mirë të djalit si edhe të shoqëruesit dhe shoferit të tij. Çka bie në sy është stili që është shkruar letra, e cila është sa miqësore, e butë dhe shoqërore, aq edhe kërcënuese, kërkuese e urdhëruese “sepse edhe ai shoku është në merak dhe i shqetësuar shumë për këtë gjë”, shkruan Fiqreti, duke ju referuar të shoqit, Mehmetit.

As it is read, the embassy had to find a suitable apartment and take care of its furniture. It is understood from the letter that the costs for this should also be covered by the embassy. Furthermore, the Albanian ambassador had to take care of taking the prime minister's son for a walk in Sweden and abroad. "When you go on your own to a country outside of Sweden, like right now in Norway, when you find Neli possible, when it's not too busy, etc., you can even take it with you, because you usually stay for a few days in the countries where you are accredited as in Finland, Norway, etc. The point is to both see and benefit from the knowledge of the countries and not get too bored, especially in the early days", ordered Fiqret Shehu, the Albanian ambassador in Stockholm.

Below is the full letter:

Dear friend Taqi,

We wish you good health and work. We heard from Neli that you are doing well. Postgraduate students are also arranged (those three who are organized with jobs) as not better: they have scientific "committees" as scientific leaders. We believe that you will do your best to secure a scientific "committee" (a big scientific head, as Ganiu expressed it in a letter he wrote to me) as a scientific leader for Neli as well. And we expect you to resolve this matter as best and as soon as possible, because that friend is also worried and very worried about this thing. You understand.

In terms of housing arrangements, accommodation, food, etc., we don't know anything about it. We only know that the three Neli and Ganiu with Thanas are at the Embassy for now. I believe that this does not give him many opportunities for study. But we have the conviction, both I and that friend, that you will be interested in finding a house, apartment or I know where, as soon as possible and most suitable. As long as this side is finally systemized, we will not be calm. Regarding the furnishing of the house, I believe you take care of it yourself. But, perhaps, they could be guided by one of the friends of the Embassy (since Gani is also there for the first time) to get to know the life and curiosities of Stockholm and Sweden, and when you go to a country outside of Sweden yourself, like now that he's calm in Norway, when Neli finds it possible, when he's not too busy, etc., you can even take it with you, because you usually stay for a few days in the countries where you are accredited, such as in Finland, Norway, etc. The point is to see and benefit from knowing the places and not get too bored, especially in the early days.

I feel like I went too long, but you are a parent yourself and you know how hard it is to have your child away for a long time!

I am concluding by asking you to say my best wishes to your friend, Donika, Max and all the friends of the Embassy whom I know. And you have a lot of thanks from that friend, as well as from all our children.

Hello and many thanks

Fiqret Shehu

Tirana, on September 18, 1979.
