KORȁ, May 19 – Gerond Dushku, 24, hanged himself in the southeastern city of Korca after he could not get a visa to go to neighboring Greece to work. Dushku’s depression seemed to have urged him toward the fatal act at his home in Podgorie village in the Korca district. Dushku had tried several times to illegally cross the border on foot and was turned back. (Tirana Times Staff)
