In short, 4 AM has taken ownership to further develop a 3-story hotel in one of the most coveted areas of Saranda.

4 AM recently appeared on the list of companies in the focus of SPAK, attracting the attention of BKH investigators due to tender maneuvers and suspicious connections. It is worth noting that 4 AM SHPK has often been mentioned in the media as a company indirectly linked to entrepreneur Bashkim Ulaj, although in official documentation the ownership results in the name of citizen Ardit Metaliaj.

According to data and payments from the State Treasury, in recent years the company 4 AM shpk has benefited from over 140 million euros of public money, through tenders suspected of being predetermined and often reported with red flags. And part of this money the company apparently intends to invest in tourism, through the purchase and development of a hotel in one of the most coveted areas of Saranda.
