As he stated this morning, Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha reiterated that he is in favor of investing in the island of Sazan.
He recalled on the show "Opinion" his former agreement with former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, for a project that would develop the island. However, the latter failed to materialize.
Berisha: Mr. Vërneci is a completely private investment. You and I, neither of us has seen a document that is public land given. So how can I be when there is a complete agreement between private individuals?! They are welcome!
We come to Sazani, it is public land, there is no owner. Sazani has a history, the truth is that the late Fatos Nano…
-Even earlier, when Ilir Meta was prime minister, the idea of ??a casino network was raised, the first project was in 2000...
Berisha: I talked to Berlusconi, at that time the development of Sazani was complicated, even today it is not simple, two palms of beach are there or not. Silvio was very interested, he made the project, but the financial crisis of 2008 came, his shares fell and the project was abandoned. How can I oppose it at a time when I myself had tried to give it for development?!
Personally, I wouldn't stand up in protest as I gave it once, now I can't pretend to be someone I'm not! There is one specific thing, I have never seen a businessman offer an investment of 2 billion euros!
However, he accused Prime Minister Edi Rama of " giving Albanian businessmen lands many times more valuable than Sazani."
