Another official evidence proves that the Ministry of Tourism and Environment , in addition to the permit for iron production and the export of toxic scrap waste, has favored the Turkish company " Kurum " and with other environmental permits for the construction of a new smelting line, which adds poisons to the air of the territory of Elbasan.

On December 29, 2023, the Turkish company "Kurum", owned by Hatixe Kurum , has requested the Minister of Environment-Tourism, Mirela Kumbaro , to be provided with an environmental permit of type "A" or "B", for the construction of a chrome ore smelting line.

Within 24 hours, Hatixja of the "Kurum" company submitted the environmental study to the National Environment Agency, while Minister Mirela Kumbaro immediately signed the "A" type environmental permit for the construction of the chrome smelting line.

This permission was given at a time when the EU and international environmental organizations are putting pressure on the Albanian government to stop the activity of collecting scrap and iron products in Elbasan and the rehabilitation of the area of ​​the former metallurgical plant.

But the minister Mirela Kumbaro ignores the demands of the EU and will not even know about the carcinogenic poison that the company "Kurum" produces, which the residents of the Elbasan area inhale through the air, water and agricultural products.

This quantity of poisonous and carcinogenic gases is in addition to the poisons that the "Kurum" company releases and disperses in the territory of Elbasan, making the damage to the health of the residents more serious, because this is how Hatixja of "Kurum" and Mirela of Babloku did the shopping.

The chromium smelting line within the factories of the "Kurum" company consists of 6 dosing bunkers, in each of which chromium is fed, with "non-stop" smelting furnaces, from which chrome slags come out every 2 hours and 40 minutes. , which are thrown in the open square of the "Kurum" company, where they stay until they are bought by private recycling companies.
