PM Edi Rama reacted to the comment of President Ilir Meta who said that he supports the creation of a National Park and not the construction of dams on the Vjosa River.

Rama writes that it would be very good for Meta to have protected Valbona from destruction when he was deputy head of the government of Sali Berisha, as he is protecting Vjosa today from the imaginary danger of hydropower plants that will not be built! “.

Rama states that the Ministry of Environment has officially refused to give permission for HPP projects in the lower part of the Vjosa River, which will be integrated with the Park.

“I agree with Ilir Meta that the future is not destruction, but how good it would have been if he had protected Valbona from destruction when he was deputy head of Sali Berisha’s government, as he protects Vjosa today from the imaginary danger of hydropower plants that will not be built!

“Our government has declared the upper Vjosa a National Park. The Ministry of Environment has officially refused to give permission for HPP projects in the lower Vjosa that will be integrated with the Park!

“The destructive wave of the old government over the rivers as a whole has been repelled since a long time!” said Rama among other things.
