Scandal and shame – this is the only way to describe what happened to the European taxpayers’ money in the sewage project in Zajas, the birthplace of DUI leader Ali Ahmeti, said Driton Sulejmani from the ranks of VLEN.
“People say that the sun cannot be hidden with a sieve. But someone clearly thought that this scandal could be covered up forever with a few documents and stamps, for which it is not even known who signed them. Two weeks ago, we raised serious questions about this scandal. We talked about more than nine million euros of European funds for which the public still has no answer as to where they ended up, about the criminal complaint by the Financial Police, about the contracts concluded with domestic companies and about the suspicions that companies related to Ali Ahmeti’s family circle may have been involved in the whole thing.
We demanded that every contract be opened, that every payment be checked and that the responsibility of everyone involved in this project be determined. Now, it is not only VLEN that is asking the questions. The European Union has also started to seek answers.
The European Union Ambassador Michalis Rokas says that the EU is collecting the documentation for this project. Therefore, it is no longer enough to just ask where the millions ended up. The public must also know who declared the project as completed, based on which documents and with what explanation,” noted Sulejmani.
