Xami Uzuni from Kavaja, claims that is being robbed of his land in the centre of Kavaja, which belongs to the Uzuni family since 1912. He says he enjoys his property only on paper as with the permission of the municipality of Kavaja, diggers have come to build there an 8-storey building.
Xhami Uzuni: “I have cadastral ownership documents since 1912. I have had the restaurant in this place for 30 years. Former mayor Elvis Roshi removed it as he decided to make a sidewalk, exactly where the digger is now, then he turned it in a children’s playground. Then came the other mayor Isa Sakja, whom we asked to build something on our land but not only did he did not give it to us, but he also deceived us by giving 65% of our land to an owner from Tirana and 35% to the municipality. He made these moves two months before he left.”
The Uzuni family has presented this injustice to the General Directorate of Cadastre, which so far has not returned any response.
Xhami Uzuni: “The owners of the building firm RENIS.SHPK ask me to withdraw so that things can continue comfortably for them. They threaten me with life, they tell me ‘I will pull my heart out’ and ‘I will put the bullet in you’.”
Finding no solution from the cadastre directorate, Xii Uzuni knocked on the door of the American Embassy to prevent any possible tragedy.
Xhami Uzuni: “The project we are facing here is the project of the firm RENIS SHPK. This project affects me has directly. I went to the American embassy to take me in protection as I am in danger for my life.
This dangerous situation for the old family of Kavaja occurs due to the chaos and clutter in the cadastre offices in Albania, with the only aims of stealing private property.
