Rama “eye for an eye” with the residents of Zvërnec: Investors legally bought the land

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama visited Zvërnec on May 5, the location associated with recent protests regarding a specific development project. During the visit, Rama addressed the ongoing legal scrutiny, clarifying the focus of the investigation conducted by the SPAK. He emphasized that the inquiry is not directed at the development project itself, but rather at the entity responsible for the initial sale of the land.

Rama reaffirmed his full support for the SPAK’s investigative efforts. Addressing property rights, the Prime Minister noted that while some individuals may lack formal deeds, the mortgage office serves as the central verification point.
