The Bulqize miners’ strike has brought in Albania the President of
Decomental Austria Company, owner of the concessionary ACR Company.

Mrs. Rohtraut Skatche-Depich, during an interview for Top-Channel gave her comments for the miners’ strike.

“My opinion is that the strike has been created in an artificial way. Unfortunately, irresponsible members of the syndication started the strike without having the miners’ interest in their mind”, declared Skatche-Depich.

ACR announced this Thursday an understanding memorandum that was refused by the syndication leaders. The President of Decomental revealed the steps that she will undertake for this situation.

“As you might know, we have a court order which ruled that the occupiers of the mine are a small illegal group that should leave the galleries. I am waiting the execution of this order. After the order will be executed, there will be no problem for me and my mineworkers to sign an agreement that will turn everything to normality”, Skatche-Depich underlined.

When asked if ACR would leave the mine if the Bulqize situation will not find a solution, Mrs. Depich answered:

“No, I have no intention to leave the concession, because we have all the rights and we have done a great job as investors. As you might have known, we have invested 30 million EUR. We have started an investment for installing new expensive machinery bought in Poland and we will continue to invest in Bulqize, growing the mine with the best standards”, Skatche-Depich declared.
