Abstract
Ian Jones: Despite the problems in implementing my proposals as outlined in the previous chapter, Armend Bërlajolli was able to implement other parts of my recommendations. Most of the linguists were placed in a central pool and Bërlajolli provided much-needed linguistic supervision. An SOP on Linguistic Services was issued. The arrival of the new Chief was also seen positively by the linguists:
Louise Askew: How did you feel about Armend being appointed as the supervisor?
Vlora Braha: Good! I think that we needed someone like that to be able to supervise us, someone who was able to speak both languages: Albanian and qualified I would say, qualified person or a supervisor, to speak Albanian and Serbian language ... the good thing of having Armend as our supervisor is because Armend used to be an interpreter himself and he knew the nature of our work. He was able to understand when we were tired or when we needed two or three colleagues to go to one meeting together, etc. So it was really a good change.1
