The email sent to members of the European Parliament by the government to not vote on two amendments to the report on Albania, which related to the project in Zvërnec, which caused a massive protest by citizens, has been revealed.

A day earlier, German MEP Jutta Paulus, who participated in the anti-government protest, stated that Prime Minister Edi Rama had sent her an email asking her not to vote on an amendment before the vote on the report on Albania.

In the email, sent on June 16, by Bora Muzhaqi and Taulant Balla, it is claimed that amendments 4 and 17 are "not based on true premises", but are "the result of a disinformation campaign to distort the truth", calling on EP members not to support them.

"Amendments 4 and 17 are not based on true premises, but are the result of a disinformation campaign to distort the truth, therefore we respectfully ask you NOT to support these two amendments," the email states.

The email states that the project has not yet received a construction permit, but only a development permit, which does not authorize the start of works. It also notes that any construction will require an in-depth environmental impact assessment, while the protected status of the Pishë Poro–Nartë area, according to the government, has not changed.

Subject: Arguments on the opposition to Amendments 4 and 17 in the Albania 2025 Report

Dear Members of the European Parliament,

We are writing to you after following the debate on the Albania 2025 Report in the plenary session today, to thank you for the report, as adopted in AFET, and to express our concerns regarding amendments 4 and 17.

Amendments 4 and 17 are not based on true premises, but are the result of a disinformation campaign to distort the truth, therefore we respectfully ask you NOT to support these two amendments.

Below you will find a summary of the facts and, attached, a more detailed explanation of them.

First, the project in Zvërnec has no connection to the Vjosa Delta and has not received a construction permit. What has been approved is only a development permit, which paves the way for the preparation of the project, but does not authorize the carrying out of construction works.

Secondly, before any construction is considered, the developer must submit a detailed architectural project, complete technical documentation and, most importantly, an In-depth Environmental Impact Assessment, which must examine the potential impacts of the project on biodiversity, habitats, ecosystems, landscape integrity, lagoon and coastal areas, as well as long-term environmental sustainability. This In-depth Environmental Impact Assessment must also ensure compliance with European Union and Albanian environmental legislation.

Third, the protected status of the area has not changed. The Poro–Nartë Pine Zone was and remains a Protected Landscape, Category V according to the IUCN, since 2004, which allows development in a way that ensures the sustainable coexistence of natural values, biodiversity and human activity.

Fourth, regarding ownership issues, the land in question is private property and the Albanian government is not a party to any ownership transaction related to this project.

As we have proven, we fully support the protection of Albania's natural heritage, as expressed in the report, and we will continue to follow the European Union acquis in the field of environmental protection.

We take this opportunity to thank the rapporteur, Andreas Schieder, as well as the shadow rapporteurs for their excellent work and commitment to this Albania 2025 Report.
