Dritan Agolli is building a 1 million euro hotel in Bulqiza

An amount of almost 7 million euros has been tendered by the Albanian Development Fund for the construction of the Retro Park in Bulqiza, where bars, restaurants and hotels are being built with state money. The head of the Albanian Development Fund, Dritan Agolli, who is also known as the state "businessman", has opened another procedure for the park in Bulqiza, this time for the construction of a hotel, which who knows who will manage.

Vox News has cross-referenced the documents of two previous tenders, which show that the hotel should have been built with that money, but the contracts have been modified and another tender has currently been opened, which is always won by the "same hands". The suspicions are that the recently awarded amount, over 1 million euros, is Dritan Agolli's "reward" for the construction firm, while the money that is being "thrown down the river" for that project should be investigated.

If the state itself wants to bring back Bulqiza's attention, why doesn't it intervene in the good management of chrome mines? Why does it let companies make a loss, spending tens of millions of euros that who knows where they go? With all this money being spent on Retro Park, why weren't new jobs, roads, and schools opened?! If the state itself wants to return the wealth it takes from the underground to the local residents, why is it wasting it in the worst way?

Facsimile: New tender of the Albanian Development Fund for the construction of the hotel in Retro Park 

According to documents available to Vox News, in recent days the ADF has opened a tender with the object of "establishing the infrastructure of integrated models in areas with development potential, Bulqizë". It is about the "Retro" theme park, the third lot. This lot foresees the construction of a hotel. The limit fund allocated by Agolli is a full 95 million new lek, or over 1 million euros.

It seems that the government's initiative to transform a military zone in Bulqiza into hotels and bars is devouring taxpayers' money. The first two phases have cost a total of 6 million euros. The second lot had as its object the construction of buildings and infrastructure in that park and had a value of 271 million lek.

Meanwhile, in the fall of 2024, the ADF opened the tender for the project, which aimed to restore the former military zone to a tourist and cultural destination. At that time, the fund limit was 338 million lek, while in October 2024, the winner of the tender, the company "Ulza", was announced.

According to accompanying documents, the Fund writes that the project includes the redevelopment of the “Retro-Hotel” in the former Officers’ House, as well as eight two-story apartments located in the same area. The main building, the former Officers’ House, has an area of ​​490 m² per floor and consists of two to three floors.

"The project aims to bring retro-style hotel rooms, high-capacity rooms for group stays (hostel), as well as a museum room containing furniture and technology from the communist period. Also planned is the integration of new breakfast and cafeteria units, administration and reception areas ," the documents state.
