TIRANA, July 22/ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama stated that there are significant misconceptions surrounding the Mountain Package. Its primary goal is to empower heirs in areas where land was not divided under Law 7501, giving them the legal framework and economic tools to sustainably develop their ancestral assets.
During an open conversation with residents about the “Mountain Package”, Rama urged citizens to examine the initiative’s details and ignore the misinformation surrounding it. He stressed that the proposed package does the exact opposite of claims that it will seize owners’ properties or transfer them to third parties.
“Far from benefiting usurpers, oligarchs, or outsiders, the Mountain Package is designed solely to help local property heirs develop their ancestral land where Law 7501 does not apply”, Rama stated.
He said that in these communities, inherited land boundaries remain unchanged and there are no boundary disputes among neighbors.
Rama used a local resident’s situation to explain how the new property formalization package functions. According to Rama, heirs with rightful claims who are missing from cadastral registers can now formalize their ownership. “Take Marian and his two brothers,” Rama said. “They own their land by custom, but on paper, it is state property. Essentially, they are customary owners who lack legal titles. Currently, the Cadastre has no record of this property other than as state land.
He also explained that the symbolic 1-euro price is designed to revitalize mountainous areas by converting inherited properties into active engines of community development.
