Tirana reacts about Radika

The Head of the Parliamentary Group, Petrit Vasili, considered the Macedonian Project of the Lukova Field as an operation that goes against the entire existing international rules about rivers that cross countries’ borders. Besides this, according to Vasili, Macedonia is violating an agreement singed by Albania, Macedonia, Greece, Kosovo and Montenegro in 2011, which is about the Drin Basen.

“The ‘Drin Agreement, a mutual strategic vision’, clearly states that the laws that need to be implemented in the Drin cascade are the European ones, especially the ‘Directive 200060’ of the European Parliament. This project goes against this directive, which specifies the cases when decisions affect other countries. This project has an effect that goes beyond its borders and we need a coordinated agreement, which has not happened”, Vasili declared.

The Democratic Party has also asked an intervention of the Albanian Government to stop the project that damages not only the lives of the Albanian residents in Macedonia, but also that of the Albanian people in Diber and Bulqize.

“The government is staying silent in front of this concern of the residents who are directly affected. This makes the government incapable of understanding the importance and proportions of what is being projected by the Macedonian part. The Democratic Party asked the government to react today, before this issue involves more anger from the people, which would not affect a solution”, declared the Democratic Party Parliament Member, Roland Keta.

The political reactions in Tirana came one day after citizens gatheres in thecapital and Peshkopia, and asked Tirana to get involved in stopping this project.
