Albania has not been lacking of initiatives for resolving the property
issues. Actually, in many cases, the initiatives have been very well
formulated, but the government’s inability and corruption have been two
factors that have made many initiatives to fail.
According to the World Bank report, transmitted by the daily “Shqip”, the reforms undertaken by the government have no coherence.
“The government has counteracted by approving some appropriate policies. Their implementation has remained behind due to the lack of coherence of these policies, coordination problems, limitation of capacities and corruption”, the report says.
In fact, the government has been accused of creating populist policies, the success of which was zero and the space for speculation and corruption was very high.
Such were the initiatives for legalizing the informal constructions, which was planned without studying the cost, and until today it has been able to legalize only apartment buildings that have been constructed without permission, with the lowest fees and prices, but never the houses of poor people in informal areas.
The property return and compensation process is also a populist initiative that did not take in consideration the cost evaluation. It resulted with great speculations and the theft of public properties took unimagined proportions.
