Balluku: The war against the new Port is a war against Albania's strategic interest
"The fight against the strategic project of the new port of Durrës is a fight against placing Albania on the map of the Mediterranean as a new point of the naval trade network".
This is how the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure, Belinda Balluku, described the news and public statements made recently against the new port project.
"It is a war against the strengthening of Kosovo and North Macedonia, as an integral part of the new port project, where two dry ports connected to Durrës will be built in Pristina and Skopje.
It is a war against the Durrës - Pristina railway and Corridor 8, which without the new port of Durrës do not make any sense. It is a war against the security of Albania and the region, which with the military wing of NATO in the project of the new port of Durrës rises to another level.
It is a war against the very strategic interest of Albania and therefore it is a lost war, which is waged by those who have given evidence that they have burned Albania for their own interests," writes Balluku in a public reaction.
This reaction of the deputy prime minister follows several articles published recently in the media that have brought the port project back to the attention of political debates.
The full statement of Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku:
The fight against the strategic project of the new port of Durrës is a fight against placing Albania on the map of the Mediterranean as a new point of the naval trade network.
It is a war against the empowerment of Kosovo and North Macedonia, as an integral part of the new port project, where two dry ports connected to Durrës will be built in Pristina and Skopje.
It is a war against the Durrës - Pristina railway and Corridor 8, which without the new port of Durrës do not make any sense. It is a war against the security of Albania and the region, which with the military wing of NATO in the project of the new port of Durrës rises to another level.
It is a war against the very strategic interest of Albania and therefore it is a lost war, which is waged by those who have given evidence that they have burned Albania for their own interests.
Today, they only have mud left, which they even export to foreign media, to look more credible when they throw it here. But the more mud they throw, the deeper that mud will swallow them next spring, when they will get the answer not with mud, but with the votes of the Albanians.
#Albania2030???????? it has already come out of the mire and will neither stop nor return to the mire of those who fight against its interests. She will move even faster to sit at the table of the European Union thanks to the fourth mandate for @EdiRama and the Socialist Party. Point!
