PM Rama: Sazan remains Albanian property as investment talks continue

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has stressed that Sazan Island remains Albanian property and has not been sold to American investor Jared Kushner. Speaking to reporters in Dublin ahead of the European Political Community summit, Rama said negotiations had continued for three years. The government aims to become a shareholder in the proposed investment.

“There is no agreement yet. We have been negotiating for three years. No island has been sold. The island belongs to Albania and will remain so,” Rama said. He criticised local and international media for giving limited space to what he described as the truth.

Addressing calls for his resignation, Rama said Albanian voters had given him a strong mandate last year to lead the country towards European Union membership. He accused critics of spreading half-truths about Albania. Rama also called for a stronger, more united Europe and praised Ireland’s commitment to that goal.
