TIRANA, March 19/ATA/ Socialist Party MP Plarent Ndreca said during a television interview that a strategic investment like that of American businessman and investor Jared Kushner is welcome because it adds value to the coast and the country’s economy.
According to Ndreca, strategic investments from the USA add value not only to the country’s economy, but also to the economic and political relations between the two allied countries.
“Not that he is former president Donald Trump’s son-in-law, but he is an American investor and being so he influences the inter-state relations between the two countries. Sazani island is a gem, but for 30 years it has not been exploited; it has not been used”, said Ndreca.
According to him, the Sazan island project has been submitted to the Foreign Investment Agency (AIDA) and there is expected the evaluation of this offer.
“The prime minister has explained it in a crystal clear way. There is an interest expressed from an investor, like Mr. Kushner. He has applied to AIDA and it is a project that will be evaluated like every other project. But, it remains to be evaluated their offer; it must be seen how this offer complies with the law on strategic investments and then it will be forwarded to the government, where it will be evaluated how this project will be continued”, emphasized Ndreca.
He said that, “There is absolutely no official request for Zvërnec until now; no one has submitted a request for strategic investment there. But, it has been confirmed that there is a request for Sazan”.
The MP of the Socialist Party highlighted that the law on strategic investments has turned the country into an investment space for world-renowned brands./r.e/p.s./
