The Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, declared that the Osum Canyons will not be touched for building hydropower plants.

“Since when the previous government approved the permit, there was something suspicious about it. It resulted that the permit was a criminal fabrication with manipulated coordinates. The individuals involved in this fabrication will be reported to the Prosecution and the entire procedure will be cancelled”, Rama said on Facebook.

“I want to thank citizens who were the first to send this signal through the “Albania We Want” online platform and the others who were involved in publishing this attempted crime. No government is without mistake, but the difference is in the way how they react to mistakes. We apologize to everyone who was rightfully concerned after receiving the bad news that the magical Canyons could be damaged, a place that I am looking forward visiting, with the wonderful boys and girls of the Albanian Rafting Federation”, Rama said.
