Behgjet Pacolli has withdrawn from Vlora Airport, saying that it is no longer his property. He explained on his account that despite having invested over 310 million euros (approximately 310 billion lek) of his own funds in the airport, he cannot fight the state.

"The airport was built exclusively with my financial means. There are over 310 million euros invested and committed in the form of guarantees. Valon Ademi alone, as the contractor, has received over 35 million euros from the MABCO guarantee."

"The airport — let them take it! I don't want to fight with the state. The state has its own power and can use it as it wants. But the way this power is being used is illegal and unacceptable for a country that claims to be a state of law. What happened and how it happened, time will tell. No worries," he writes.

The Albanian billionaire's reaction comes after the clashes of recent days at the construction site, where the State Police did not allow employees of his company "MABCO" to enter the work premises at the Airport, favoring the other minority shareholder with whom Pacolli is in conflict.

Asked by an Albanian journalist, as he says, what will happen to the people who are now unemployed and whether subcontractors will be paid, Behgjet Pacolli says:

"They have been paid and any remaining obligations will be paid to the last cent. As for our workers and experts, we will try to engage them in other projects abroad. They are valuable to us and will not be neglected."

But for these people, in addition to the financial side, there is a much bigger problem: the human and moral one. These people have been affected in their dignity by the police intervention. Their work tools, equipment, personal belongings, safes, personal materials, work materials in warehouses and much more have been left behind on the construction site.

The most serious thing is that the human dignity of the working people has been violated — of those who have given their effort, sweat, professionalism, and a part of their lives to this project.

This is precisely where the greatest injustice lies. MABCO's material issues will, sooner or later, be regulated by law. But the damage done to human dignity, trust in the state, and Albania's image before investors is not easily repaired.

"I, to the extent possible, will continue to defend the interest of the nation, the interest of workers, and the principle that the state should be a guarantor of the law — not an instrument of pressure on those who work, build, and invest."

Behgjet Pacolli emphasizes that the facilities that the Ministry of Interior, on August 24, had separated from the overall project and had designated for completion by MABCO, are in fact completed. Since March of this year, pending the fulfillment of obligations by VIA, the billionaire's company has cleaned the facilities, carried out the final works and also arranged the surrounding greenery.
