Vlora Airport

The Special Prosecution Office is reported to have communicated the first charges to the members of the Bidding Commission, who approved, as in accordance with the law, the bid made by a consortium of companies for the construction of Vlora Airport.

The suspicions are that the winner was predetermined and the members of the Bid Evaluation Committee have been charged with "Violation of equality in tenders".

However, Klodian Braho, as one of the prosecutors in the case and at the same time head of the Special Prosecution Office, has not stopped at communicating the charges to the members, but also demands accountability from the highest officials who finalized the agreement.

The Vlora airport project was born as an early electoral promise of Prime Minister Edi Rama, although the government's own studies considered it economically unviable, with high risks and a low rate of return on investment.

However, the government insisted on building it, making a 138 million euro taxpayer guarantee available to the project over the first 10 years of operation.

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy announced in March 2021 the winners of the concession contract; a consortium consisting of the company Mabco Construction SA of Kosovar businessman Behgjet Pacolli, the Turkish company YDA Group , and 2A Group owned by Valon Ademi, another businessman from Kosovo.

The winning consortium offered an investment value of 104 million euros and in May 2021 established the concession company, Vlora International Airport, VIA, with quotas divided into 58% for Pacolli, 40% for the Turkish company and 2% for Valon Ademi, according to BIRN's investigation.

YDA Group was included in the consortium for its technical capacities in airport operation, but in September 2022, it left the project with the approval of the Ministry of Infrastructure, selling its share package to Pacolli for 4,450 euros.

The departure of the Turkish company increased Mabco Construction to a 98% stake, while its partner, Valon Ademi's 2A Group, remained with 2%. But in October 2025, a legal dispute broke out between the partners over the division of shares.

The company 2A Group filed a lawsuit with the Tirana Court, through which it claims the registration of a notarial contract signed between it and Behgjet Pacolli for the purchase of 47% of VIA shares, an action that according to it was refused to be carried out by the assembly of the company Mabco Construction. Mabco Construction opposes the contract as falsified and legally invalid, but on October 17, 2025 the Tirana Court decided to suspend Mabco Construction's vote until the resolution of the case on the merits.

The decision was appealed and on December 22, the Court of Appeals reduced the security measure of the lawsuit to only 47% of the disputed shares, while recognizing Behgjet Pacolli's company's voting rights for 51% of the shares in VIA.

Following the Appeals Court decision, 2A Group claims to have regained the right to block Mabco Construction's vote through a new decision of the Tirana Court on December 24, 2025, reviewed by a different judge. The decision has not yet been made public by the court.

At the same time, the parties have filed criminal charges against each other on charges of manipulation and fraud.
