"The formula for the Vlora airport is wrong", Ahmetaj: I'll show

Former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj also spoke about the Vlora airport concession, describing the formula used as harmful to the public interest.

On "Syri TV", he explained that the state budget cannot guarantee the full risk of the private sector in a Public-Private Partnership and proposed alternative solutions, such as initially building a simple regional airport.

Ahmetaj accuses that the project, in its current form, guarantees profits to the private sector and covers losses over 10 years, calling this "robbery of the state budget."

Arben Ahmetaj: The formula used for the Vlora airport is detrimental to the public interest. The state budget cannot assume 100% of the risk in a concession, or in a Public Private Partnership. There are two reasons, when ignorance is called to a table, where knowledge is a condition, of course we will have these as consequences.

Second, what need do you have to build an airport like you're building Milan II in Vlora? Why don't you start with a regional airport, that was my suggestion and Damian Gjiknuri's. A regional airport with a runway and a simple waiting room. The numbers increase, give it with a concession, or with another formula. How come I guarantee the private sector both the operating costs as a budget if the numbers are not met, and the profit.

In what country in the world has this been seen. This is a robbery of the state budget in 10 years. Why in 10 years. There are many details there, the devil sleeps in the details. But I am the corrupt one. When patronageists come in when Rama, Berisha, or others speak, Ahmetaj is corrupt. But where, I did not make a tender. 12 billion went to that lady.
