A pure scandal is happening in Ksamil and it cannot be called an administrative error, but rather a robbery in a suit by the state gang of the Municipality of Saranda, which together with the Albanian Development Fund has started works for a public work on a private plot, without considering the owner, without expropriation, without environmental permits and without even setting up the works table that the law requires, so doing exactly as the gangs of illegal construction do, pouring concrete at night to make a fait accompli, but here the concrete is poured during the day in the sun, in the name of the state and in a suit and tie.
The tourist village of Ksamil, the pearl of the Albanian Riviera and one of the most sought-after areas by local and foreign vacationers, is facing an intervention that resembles more an invasion than a public investment. The Albanian Development Fund, guaranteed by the Municipality of Saranda that the land is public and without problems, has started work on a project, the deadline of which is 24 months, but it is being worked on at a dizzying pace precisely to make it a fait accompli and to leave the real owner of the land with his finger in his mouth, because when the concrete has been poured, who will wait for him to return the property?
But this is not just a violation of private property, but a multiple violation of the law and an open provocation against every citizen who owns land in Albania. The works are being undertaken without an environmental permit, thus violating all the norms that protect nature and tourism in one of the most sensitive areas of the country. The exposure of investment data through the works table, which is a legal obligation for every construction site, is completely absent, so the work is being done in complete informational darkness for citizens. Above all, there is no act that justifies the taking of private property, because neither the expropriation has been carried out nor has the owner been notified, simply someone from the Municipality of Saranda has decided that this land is needed by the state and has taken it, just as a gang takes what it wants without asking.
The question that immediately arises is: How is it possible that the Albanian Development Fund, this institution that is supposed to finance public works throughout the country, could so easily fall into the trap of the Municipality of Saranda, or rather, become an open accomplice to the robbery by turning a blind eye to the fact that the land that the Municipality guaranteed to be public is, in reality, private property recognized by law, thus making public funds available to legitimize this theft.
Another detail that makes this scandal unique in its kind and potentially very costly for Albania, because the violation of private property and the disrespect of the owner's right to be heard before their land is taken, is one of the key points of Chapter 5 that Albania has signed with the European Union to become part of the large European family, so what the Municipality of Saranda is doing in Ksamil is not simply a local illegality, but a direct violation of the international commitments of the Albanian state, and for this it is enough that the scandal is made known through media channels to the European Commission.
This scandal is not simply a robbery that occurred in Ksamil, but the opening of a dangerous path that legitimizes any future intervention by the state on private property, because if today the Municipality of Saranda and the ADF pour concrete on a private plot of land without expropriation, without permission, without notifying the owner, making do with a verbal guarantee that the land is public when in fact it is not, then tomorrow any other institution can do the same anywhere in Albania, and no one will feel safer in their property.
Questions that need answers:
Who from the Municipality of Saranda has guaranteed to the ADF that the land is public and will they be held criminally liable for this false declaration that work has begun on private property?
Why didn't the ADF request any ownership documents before throwing taxpayers' money into this intervention, and was the lack of control ignorance or deliberate collaboration with the Municipality to make it a fait accompli?
Who will be held responsible for works without environmental permits and for the lack of a works schedule, which is a legal obligation for every construction site in Albania?
How much will this open violation of Chapter 5 cost Albania in relation to the European Union and who will pay this cost?
