After defending the project, Sali Berisha commented on the situation created due to the construction expected to take place in Zvërnec, which has also caused protests that have been ongoing for three days in Tirana.
The leader of the Democrat Party advises Prime Minister Edi Rama that he should meet with environmentalists and guarantee them that the project will be built in accordance with EU standards, without violating the conditions for the area as a natural landscape.
“No matter how you change the law, but it is a protected landscape, then you will sit down with the environmentalists and give them guarantees, telling them that you are not for construction at all, we will build in accordance with EU standards. No, there are no specific ones. This area makes Albania famous in the world because it is a fantasy and a great natural wonder. But on condition that you do not disfigure it, destroy it and develop it in accordance with all conditions. The last time in his speech, he said I told them to solve the problems with the owners.
Two sources tell me that if you take people’s claims for ownership in that area, if you take all of them in surface area, it becomes 28 thousand square kilometers. How can a foreigner solve this. With thieves like Pëllumb Petriti… When I told them the mafia boss of the south, Ergys Agasi and others where they are. There the law and the state should be the guarantor.
“In addition to the phrases he used yesterday, I told them that you should solve those ownership issues. Go there and ask. No one can solve them because you changed 17 directors of the Cadastre in Vlora just for this reason. It doesn’t happen in the world, you’re in Guinness. You place an order, leave and get money. The state should be there to guarantee it,” Berisha said.
