A 20-year problem over property ownership has caused debates at the
Parliamentary Commission of Productive Activities, where they discussed
the initiative of Parliament Member Fatmir Mediu, who asked an amend of
the ownership of the agricultural land without compensation.

This amend foresees that properties which have been confiscated or nationalized in southern tourism areas should be returned to those who owned them before 1945.

“There is a gangrene with the property issue. Law 7501 is not touched because it was used to share property according to political and corruptive interests. Deep agricultural areas were taken to be given to agricultural specialists who have never had any relation with those lands, and today they are owners of farms. They enjoy the privilege of being the owner of a land that they don’t even see where it is, but they only profit abusively, by not allowing the legitimate owners to profit. Drivers of directors, agricultural experts who live in cities and directors of agricultural enterprises have taken the best lands”, declared the Republican Party leader, Fatmir Mediu.

Abuses were noticed at the official documents of the Himara Municipality and of the Supreme State Audit, as it has been admitted by the Vlore Court. Mediu declared that 100% of the documents issued by documents for giving agricultural lands have been illegal.

The Chairman of the Commission, Eduard Shalsi, declared that the chaos created with the property cannot be resolved with a law amend.

“Every effort to resolve it with these methods will be failed without unifying the institutions and without digitalizing accurate information. The property issue will continue deteriorating”, Shalsi declared.

According to Shalsi, the ownership problems will increase the bill that the Albanian tax payers will have to pay, based on the verdicts of the Strasbourg Court.
