Himara Community of USA, Addresses Himarra Property Issues with US State Department / Ambassador

The Honorable John F. Kerry Secretary of State

U.S. Department of State



Dear Mr. Secretary:

 We are writing to inform you of issues affecting United States citizens who have vested interests in the municipality of Himarra, Albania, and to express our concern about their long outstanding and unresolved problems regarding property rights.

Over 1500 US citizens of Himarrioton descent are disenfranchised of their rights to the ownership of their family properties which were confiscated in 1945 by the communist regime.

They have been attempting to claim their family properties since the end of the communist period without success due to the laws and policies of the Albanian government which a) fail to address ownership rights of pre-1945 landowners, b) fail to address the rights of owners who were forced to emigrate to the United States for economic or political reasons, and c) fail to address the rights of those with dual citizenship who have attempted to claim their properties as Albanian citizens.

These US citizens have turned to the United States government, the Albanian government, the Albanian judicial system, and to the European Court of Human Rights without success in resolving their issues.  Further, because these are valuable coastal properties, they have been subject to theft, encroachment and illegal sale to third parties with little protection from the Albanian government.

 We believe that it would be most helpful for the US Embassy in Tirana to conduct an assessment about what actions are being taken to persuade the Albanian government to restitute property in the Himarra municipality which rightfully belongs to individuals who are US citizens. Additionally, we urge the Embassy to investigate and intercede on the behalf of US citizens whose family properties are being seized, sold, and encroached upon illegally.

 Moreover we wish to bring to your attention the deleterious consequences that the current laws and policies of the Albanian government are having on the local populace of Himarra and the aforementioned US citizens.

Albanian Land Law 7501 and its amendments effectively allows for the distribution of only 20% of the land of the Himarra municipality that was confiscated by the communist regime. It does not allow for the restitution of the family properties, Orthodox Church property or communal village property that was confiscated. Ex-communist party members allied with unscrupulous interests are now using the cover of the law to claim ownership of the remaining 80% of Himarra in a land grab of valuable coastal property eyed for touristic development. This has fueled rampant corruption and land conflicts between pre-1945 owners and those claiming their land. The perpetrators of this land grab believe that they can act with impunity as there has been limited international monitoring of developments or independent investigation of events.

 Affected US citizens and the majority of the populace of the Himarra municipality have consistently protested any restitution that does not recognize pre-1945 rights of land ownership and which does not return all the land that was confiscated by the prior communist regime.

 We strongly believe that it is in the best interests of the Republic of Albania as a UN member state, a NATO ally and a candidate for EU membership, to hold itself to the high standards of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in its respect for the rights of property ownership. We encourage the US Embassy in Tirana to address this issue with the new government of Prime Minister Edi Rama and encourage that government to exemplify bold leadership and take decisive steps to implement true property rights in Himarra based on full restitution of property.

 We look forward to working with your office to discuss this issue further. Thank you for your time and consideration.

PDIU, Tahiri: Drafti i Mediut strategji greke, duhej të ishte gjithëpërfshirës

19 Mars 2014 | : Kryesoret,Politikë | Autor: Herion Mesi

Trojet në bregdet

Mazhoranca, kundër Mediut për kthimin e tokave të Himarës te pronarët

Herion Mesi
Kërkesa e republikanëve të Fatmir Mediut për të ndërhyrë në ligjin 8053 të vitit 1995, që parashikon kthimin e tokave të bregdetit tek ish-pronarët, ka hasur në kundërshtimin e mazhorancës në Komisionin e Veprimtarisë Prodhuese, e cila rrëzoi në mbledhjen e djeshme amendamentin që u jep mundësinë pronarëve që të kompensohen fizikisht me troje të shtetëzuara që ndodhen në zonat turistike të vendit. Pikërisht kjo kërkesë e Partisë Republikane, që prek vetëm zonën e bregdetit të Jugut, konkretisht zonën e Himarës, nuk gjeti mbështetjen e mazhorancës në Komisionin e Veprimtarive Prodhuese. Në argumentimin e tij, kryetari socialist i komisionit, Eduard Shalsi, tha se nuk do të ketë ndryshime të pjesshme ligjore, deri në hartimin e një strategjie konkrete, se si do të zgjidhet çështja e pronave. “Çdo tentativë për ta zgjidhur me forma të tilla, do të jetë që në fillim të herës e dështuar. Pa unifikuar institucionet, pa dixhitalizuar, pa një bazë informacioni të saktë, çështja e pronave do të vazhdojë të rrokulliset në këtë tatëpjetë”, tha Shalsi. Ndërkohë, nismëtari i këtyre amendamenteve, deputeti i PR-së, Fatmir Mediu, në fjalën e tij tha se tokat e shtetëzuara, të konfiskuara apo marrë në çdo mënyrë tjetër nga shteti, që janë të përfshira në zonën me përparësi turizmin, duhet të kalojnë në pronësi të pronarëve që i kanë zotëruar ato para vitit 1945. “Ka një gangrenë çështja e pronësisë. Është çështje e gjykimit tonë. Ligji 7501 nuk preket. Pse? Sepse e kemi ndarë politikisht sipas interesave politike dhe korruptive. Janë marrë toka të thella bujqësore, me idenë për t’u dhënë specialistëve të bujqësisë që nuk kanë pasur dhe nuk kanë asnjë lidhje dhe sot janë pronarë me tokat e fermave bujqësore. E gëzojnë atë privilegj për të qenë pronarë në një tokë, të cilën as nuk e shikojnë se ku është, përfitojnë në mënyrë abuzive, duke shmangur të drejtën e përfitimit të pronarëve të ligjshëm. Shoferë drejtorësh, agronomë që jetojnë në qytet, drejtorë ndërmarrjesh bujqësore në tokat më të mira bujqësore”, tha Mediu. Sipas republikanëve, abuzimet janë konstatuar në dokumentet zyrtare të Bashkisë së Himarës dhe Kontrollit të Lartë të Shtetit, pranuar dhe nga Gjykata e Vlorës. Sipas Mediut, është verifikuar se 100% e dokumenteve të dhënies së tokës bujqësore në përdorim lëshuar nga komisionet janë të paligjshme. Dhe, sipas tij, bëhet fjalë për rreth 1870 familje që kanë përfituar tokë në mënyrë të padrejtë. Në reagimin e tij, duke iu kundërpërgjigjur Mediut, Shalsi tha se 11 herë është ndryshuar ligji mbi pronësinë dhe pse kjo nuk është zgjidhur kur ai ishte në pushtet me qeverinë e djathtë. Sipas tij, kaosi i krijuar me pronën nuk mund të zgjidhet me një amendament ligjor, por me platformë të qartë për të gjitha tokat e bregdetit. Sipas Shalsit, problemet me pronësinë mbi tokën po rrisin çdo ditë e më shumë faturën që taksapaguesit shqiptarë duhet të paguajnë si pasojë e vendimeve të Gjykatës së Strasburgut. Sipas të dhënave, vetëm për 8 vendimet e fundit shuma që duhet të paguajë qeveria arrin në 37 milionë euro. Dhe kjo kosto sa vjen dhe rritet, duke u kthyer në një kërcënim për buxhetin e shtetit.
Votimi
Pas debateve mes Mediut dhe Shalsit, lidhur me çështjen e pronave në vend, mazhoranca në Komisionin Parlamentar të Veprimtarive Prodhuese rrëzoi draftin e kreut të PR-së, Fatmir Mediu, për projektligjin “Për disa shtesa dhe ndryshime në ligjin nr. 8053, datë 21.12.1995 ‘Për kalimin në pronësi pa shpërblim të tokës bujqësore’ të ndryshuar”. Gjatë këtij votimi, deputeti i PDIU-së, Dashamir Tahiri, abstenoi, pasi drafti ishte vetëm për bregdetin e Himarës dhe këtë ai e cilësoi si “strategji greke”. “Jo se jam kundër pronarëve, por se amendamenti ishte vetëm për bregdetin e Himarës. Ligji duhet të ishte për tokat në bregdet që nga Konispoli deri në Velipojë. M’u duk pak si strategji greke, ne po kërkojmë pronat për Çamërinë, jo më për Shqipërinë. Abstenova, sepse amendamenti ishte vetëm për një zonë, duhet të ishte gjithëpërfshirëse”, tha Dashamir Tahiri për mediat menjëherë pas përfundimit të mbledhjes së komisionit.

People of Himara towards civil disobedience, for the right of ownership
Civil Society of Himara has protested this time, in the Parliamentary Committees for the right of ownership. They have shown for the last time, a draft proposal for amending the Law 7501, but political parties still do not receive the right to undertake the human rights, that of ownership.

Top Channel TV

A 20-year problem over property ownership has caused debates at the Parliamentary Commission of Productive Activities, where they discussed the initiative of Parliament Member Fatmir Mediu, who asked an amend of the ownership of the agricultural land without compensation.

This amend foresees that properties which have been confiscated or nationalized in southern tourism areas should be returned to those who owned them before 1945.

“There is a gangrene with the property issue. Law 7501 is not touched because it was used to share property according to political and corruptive interests. Deep agricultural areas were taken to be given to agricultural specialists who have never had any relation with those lands, and today they are owners of farms. They enjoy the privilege of being the owner of a land that they don’t even see where it is, but they only profit abusively, by not allowing the legitimate owners to profit. Drivers of directors, agricultural experts who live in cities and directors of agricultural enterprises have taken the best lands”, declared the Republican Party leader, Fatmir Mediu.

Abuses were noticed at the official documents of the Himara Municipality and of the Supreme State Audit, as it has been admitted by the Vlore Court. Mediu declared that 100% of the documents issued by documents for giving agricultural lands have been illegal.

The Chairman of the Commission, Eduard Shalsi, declared that the chaos created with the property cannot be resolved with a law amend.

“Every effort to resolve it with these methods will be failed without unifying the institutions and without digitalizing accurate information. The property issue will continue deteriorating”, Shalsi declared.

According to Shalsi, the ownership problems will increase the bill that the Albanian tax payers will have to pay, based on the verdicts of the Strasbourg Court.

Himara Community

Petition to The Council of Europe 
 
The land in Himara belongs to the people of Himara! Land and property registration NOW!

Ky eshte peticioni i popullit te Himares te cilit po i mohoen te drejtat e tij kushtetuese mbi pronen.

E drejta e prona perben nje te drejte kushtetuese sic percaktohet ne nenin 41 e 42 te Kushtetutes se Shqiperise.

Ne mbare Bregdetin Jonian tokat kane qene prone e familjeve vendase, e kishave ose e mbare fshatit. Nuk ka pase cifligare a bejlere as prona te shtetit.

Qe prej vitit 1956, me heqjen e pronesise mbi token nga sistemi komunist i kooperativave bujqesore, populli i Himares nuk gezon tituj pronesie per token bujqesore, truallin, shtepine dhe bizneset dhe as per pronat komunale si kullota, pyje e plazhe.

Ne vitit 1991 u votua ligji i shumekontestuar 7501 "Per token bujqesore". Megjithese ky ligj nuk mund te implementohej ne krahinen e himares per shkat te specifikave te pronesise mbi token, u be ndarja e tokes bujqesore edhe ne krahinen e Himares duke mohuar te drejten e trashigimise se prones.

Qe prej viti 2007, eshte ndaluar cdo rregjistrim i pronave ne krahinen e Himare me nje urdher te brendshem te qeverise i cili ndalon rregjistrimin e pronave ne favor te popullit Himariot edhe nese ka nje vendim gjykate qe e detyron rregjistrimin.

Siperfaqe te medha tokash ne pronesi te Kishes ose bashkise rezultojne te lira pasi ato nuk jane rregjistruar ne rregjistrin e pasurive te paluajtshme dhe si te tilla qeveria ja ka kaluar fondit te tokave qe do te perdoren per kompesimin e ish-pranareve te shpronesuar gjate komunizmit ne Tirana, Fier, Berat e krahina te tjera te Shqiperise.

Pronat e kishes dhe pronat komune perbejne element perfaqesues te komunitetit Himariot i njohur per karakteristikat e tij etnike e fetare. Tjetersimi i ketyre pronave per llogari te shtetasve qe nuk jane banor te Himares do te krijoj konflikte te cilat mund te kene pasoja per stabilitetin etnik e fetar ne krahinen e Himare.

Cuditerishte gjate gjithe kesaj periudhe, individ, grupe dhe subjekte me influece ne politike perfshire dhe kapitale me origjine veprimtarie kriminale kane pervetesuar ne menyre te paligjshme siperfaqe te medha tokash nga prona private, prona e kishes e prona komunale dhe kane aritur ti rregjistrojne  ne ZRRPP duke anashkaluar jo vetem ligjin por dhe pengesat qe hasin Himariotet per rregjistrimin e pronave te tyre ne ZRPP.

Cdo dite qe kalon, me mijra Himariot nuk mund te trashegojne pronat e prinderve te tyre sepse ato nuk jane te rregjistruara.

Himariotet te cilet ndertojne shtepi apo biznese ne tokat e tyre, ndeshkohen me prishje masive te objekteve te tyre nga Policia Ndertimore sepse nuk mund te nxjerin leje ndertimi pasi nuk kane aktin e pronesise mbi token te cilen e posedojne ligjerishte.

Bashkimi Evropian ka financuar nje projekt per rregjistrimin e pronave ne krahinen e Himares i cili ne vitin 2011 filloi regjistrimin ne terren te trojeve dhe shtepive nen mbikqyrjen e misionit te OSCE ne Shqiperi. Por ky projekt, megjithese perfundoi fazen kryesore te rregjistrimit te pronave ne teren, nuk u finalizua per shkak te mangesive dhe handikapit te legjislacionit te pronesise te cilat ben qe procesi te deshtoj.

Nese dhe TI mendon se kjo padrejtesi qe po i behet popullit Himariot duhet te ndaloj,

Nese mendon se ka ardhur koha qe populli Himariot duhet te gezoj te drejten e tij Kushtetuese te prones e cila po i mohet prej mbi 50 vjetesh.

Nese mendon se Shteti Shqiptar ka detyrimin te njohe si pronar te ligjshem te Himares popullin Himariot kudo qe ndodhet ne Shqiperi ose ne emigracion ne Greqi, ne Angli, Ne Gjermani ose ne USA, e kudo.

Me respekt dhe besim ne parimet demokratike qe udheheqin Keshillin e Evropes si perfaqesues i parimeve dhe idealeve te Popujve te Evropes dhe te vetedijshem per fuqine e ketij Instuticioni.

Firmos tani kete peticion drejtuar Keshillit te Evropes, per rregjistrimin e pronave te Himares ne emer te pronarit te vetem te ligjshem: POPULLIT TE HIMARES.

This is the petition of the people of Himara which is beeing denied his constitutional rights on property.

The right of property constitutes a constitutional right as defined in section 41 of the 42 of the Constitution.

Across the Ionian coast, land was owned by local families, the orthodox churche or the community. There were no big landlords and neither state properties in this area.

Since 1956, with the abolition of land ownership by the communist agricultural cooperative's system, the people of Himara do not enjoy property ownership titles of agricultural land, homes and businesses and even on municipal property such as pastures, forests and beaches.

In 1991 when the contestet 7501 law "About the farming land" was voted in the parliament, although it could not be implemented in Himara region due to its special relations of land-ownership, agricultural lands was redrawn in the region of Himara denying the right of inheritance of property.

Since 2007, any registration of properties in the region of Himara is banned with a government internal order which prohibits the registration of the property in favour of the people of Himara even if there is a court order that compels registration.

Large areas of land owned by the church or by the community are declared free of ownership as they are not registered in the register of real estate and as such they have passed to the land fund to be used for compensation of former owners expropriated during the communism in Tirana, Fier, Berat and other regions of Albania.

The properties of the orthodox church and the community represents important elements of the Himariot community known for its ethnic and religious characteristics. Alienation of these properties on behalf of citizens who are not resident of Himara will create conflicts which will have consequences in the ethnic and religious stability in the region of Himara.

During all this period individuals , groups and entities with political influences and with capitals sometimes comming of criminal activity or unknown origin have ilegaly taken possesion of land which belong to private owners, the church or the community and they have registered this properties bypassing the law and the obstacles which Himara's people cannot overcome when trying to register their legaly owned properties.

Every day that passes, thousands of Himariots cannot inherit their parents' property because these properties are not registered.

Inhabitants of Himara that did build homes or businesses in their property, are being punished with massive destruction of their buildings by the Construction Police because they could not issue any building permit since they don’t have the act of ownership of the land which they own since generations.

The European Union has funded a project for the registration of property in the region of Himara which in 2011 began registering of land and houses under the supervision of the OSCE mission in Albania. But this project, although the first phase of the recording of properties was completed, it was not finalized due to disabilities and gaps in the legislation regarding ownership which forced the process to fail.

If you think that this injustice, done to the people of Himara should stop,

If you think it is time that the people Himara should enjoy theur constitutional right to property which is been denied to them since over 50 years.

If you think that the Albanian government has the obligation to recognize as lawful owner of Himara, the people of Himara, wherever they live in Albania, in Greece, in England, in Germany, in USA, ect:

With respect and faith in the democratic principles governing the Council of Europe as a representative of this principles and ideals of the peoples of Europe and aware of the power of this Institution:

Signe now this petition to the European Councile, for the registration of properties  to the only and single eligible owner: the PEOPLE of Himara.

Αυτό είναι το ψήφισμα των Χιμαραίων στους οποίους αρνούνται το συνταγματικό δικαίωμα στην ιδιοκτησία.

Το δικαίωμα στην ιδιοκτησία αποτελεί συνταγματικό δικαίωμα όπως ορίζεται στα άρθρα 41 και 42 του Συντάγματος της Αλβανίας.

Κατά μήκος της Ιόνιας ακτής η γη ανήκε παραδοσιακά στις ντόπιες οικογένειες, στην Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία και στις τοπικές κοινότητες. Δεν υπήρχαν μεγάλοι γαιοκτήμονες καθώς και κρατικές γαίες σε αυτή την περιοχή.

Από το 1956, με την κατάργηση της εγγείου ιδιοκτησίας από το κομουνιστικό καθεστώς και την αντικατάστασή της από το κομουνιστικό σύστημα αγροτικής κοινοκτημοσύνης, οι Χιμαραίοι στερούνται τίτλων ιδιοκτησίας των αγροτικών γαιών, των σπιτιών και των επιχειρήσεών τους ενώ και οι κοινότητες δεν έχουν τίτλους για τη δημοτική περιουσία (βοσκοτόπια, δάση, παραλίες).

Το 1991, όταν ψηφίστηκε από το αλβανικό Κοινοβούλιο ο νόμος 7501 «Περί αγροτεμαχίων», παρότι δεν μπορούσε να εφαρμοστεί στην περιοχή της Χιμάρας εξαιτίας των ειδικών συνθηκών ιδιοκτησίας, ξαναμοιράστηκαν αγροτικές γαίες και στην περιοχή αυτή, στερώντας, όμως, το δικαίωμα να κληροδοτήσει κανείς την περιουσία του.

Από το 2007 κάθε δήλωση και καταγραφή ιδιοκτησίας στην περιοχή της Χιμάρας απαγορεύθηκε με κυβερνητική εγκύκλιο, η οποία εμποδίζει τη δήλωση και καταγραφή των περιουσιών των Χιμαραίων ακόμη κι αν υπάρχει δικαστική απόφαση που επιβάλει την καταγραφή.

Μεγάλες εκτάσεις που ανήκαν στην Εκκλησία ή στην τοπική κοινότητα κηρύχθηκαν ελεύθερες ιδιοκτήτη καθώς δεν είχαν δηλωθεί στο Κτηματολόγιο και ως τέτοιες πέρασαν στην κυριότητα του Ταμείου Γης για να χρησιμοποιηθούν ως αποζημίωση σε ιδιοκτήτες που έχασαν τις περιουσίες του κατά τη διάρκεια του κομουνιστικού καθεστώτος στα Τίρανα, στο Φιέρι, στο Μπεράτι και αλλού.

Η περιουσία της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας και της τοπικής κοινότητας αποτελούν σημαντικά στοιχεία της κοινότητας της Χιμάρας, που είναι γνωστή για τις εθνικές και θρησκευτικές της ιδιαιτερότητες. Η στέρηση αυτής της περιουσίας υπέρ πολιτών που δεν είναι κάτοικοι της Χιμάρας δημιουργεί εντάσεις που ενδέχεται να έχουν επιπτώσεις στην εθνική και θρησκευτική σταθερότητα της περιοχής της Χιμάρας.

Την ίδια στιγμή, κατά τη διάρκεια όλης αυτής της περιόδου ιδιώτες, ομάδες ιδιωτών και νομικά πρόσωπα με πολιτική επιρροή και με κεφάλαια που σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις προέρχονται από εγκληματική δραστηριότητα νέμονται παρανόμως γη που ανήκει σε ιδιώτες, στην Εκκλησία ή στην τοπική κοινότητα και κατόρθωσαν να δηλώσουν τις «περιουσίες» τους, ξεπερνώντας τη νομοθεσία και τα εμπόδια τα οποία οι Χιμαραίοι δεν μπορούν να προσπεράσουν ώστε να κατοχυρώσουν τις νόμιμες περιουσίες τους.

Κάθε μέρα που περνάει χιλιάδες Χιμαραίοι δεν μπορούν να κληρονομήσουν την περιουσία των γονιών τους επειδή δεν είναι δηλωμένη.

Κάτοικοι της Χιμάρας που έχτισαν σπίτια κι επιχειρήσεις στη γη τους τιμωρούνται με μαζική κατεδάφιση των σπιτιών τους από την πολεοδομία επειδή δεν μπορούν να βγάλουν άδεια ανοικοδόμησης καθώς δεν έχουν συμβόλαια για την περιουσία των προγόνων τους, για την περιουσία που ανήκει στις οικογένειές τους εδώ και αιώνες.

Η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση χρηματοδότησε ένα πρόγραμμα καταγραφής των ιδιοκτησιών στην περιοχή της Χιμάρας, το οποίο άρχισε το 2011 την καταγραφή υπό την επίβλεψη του Οργανισμού για την Ασφάλεια και τη Συνεργασία στην Ευρώπη. Η πρώτη φάση της καταγραφής πραγματοποιήθηκε, αλλά το πρόγραμμα δεν ολοκληρώθηκε εξαιτίας κενών στην αλβανική νομοθεσία σχετικά με το ιδιοκτησιακό καθεστώς.

Εάν πιστεύετε ότι αυτή η αδικία απέναντι στους Χιμαραίους πρέπει να σταματήσει,

εάν πιστεύετε ότι οι Χιμαραίοι πρέπει επιτέλους να ανακτήσουν το συνταγματικό τους δικαίωμα στην ιδιοκτησία, το οποίο τους το αρνούνται για περισσότερα από 50 χρόνια,

εάν πιστεύετε ότι η αλβανική Κυβέρνηση έχει την υποχρέωση να αναγνωρίσει ως νόμιμους ιδιοκτήτες της Χιμάρας, τους Χιμαραίους, οπουδήποτε κι αν αυτοί ζουν (στην Αλβανία, στην Ελλάδα, στην Αγγλία, στη Γερμανία, στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες κ.α.)

σεβόμενη και συμμορφούμενη στις δημοκρατικές αξίες που διέπουν το Συμβούλιο της Ευρώπης ως αντιπροσώπου των αρχών και των αξιών των ευρωπαϊκών λαών,

τότε υποστηρίξτε αυτό το ψήφισμα προς το Συμβούλιο της Ευρώπης για να δηλωθούν οι ιδιοκτησίες στη Χιμάρα στους μόνους νόμιμους δικαιούχους, τους Χιμαραίους.
