No Comment!

The Himara Region needs political solution

"The Albanian State does not adopt other laws respection the human rights values for the right of properties, exclusive for anny "Region inside the Albanian territory", ignoring the the historic values of the Himara Indipendence and its self-governance from 2600 years"


"Seacoast Association", has consumed all the problems of property restitution by the Albanian State, in Himara Region

Responses on the issue of property:

Perrifery Chairman Anesti Dhimojani: "We are forced Albanian implement state laws, as it operates in Himara"

The Prefect Edward Velcani: "I can not act outside the law, you can ask the Albanian Parliament for new laws"

The Ombudsman: "Your critic observations to the Albanian government have sent"

Look at all the responses facing the Albanian state institutions to apply for restitution of property in Himara region.

Finally, Himara Development Plan in the waste bin, Failed

Finally, Himara Development Plan in the waste bin, Failed

No Comment!

A citizen of Himara, speaking Greek and Albanian to panel: Whyshould done the HimaraMaster Plain, without turning private property?

Continues to concern always arises why the Albanian politicalparties, in the Himara Municipality, insist to develop Master Plain, before the return of all property and lands, residents of Himara.

Himara Residents: "We have not property official documents by Office registration"

About 90 percent of the population do not have an ownership documents in his possession, which means that only 10 percent of residents can develop Himara

HIMARA REGION. Their property must be only under the laws, not other. No municipalities in Albania can not grant a building permit if the person has a property registration certificate. The process was blocked in 2006 by a government decision to prevent unfair recordings that were seen during the process. In 1997 during riots burned documents containing cadastral maps with property registered under the 7501 law. Lately a project funded by the OSCE for the registration of houses and land appears to be moving forward and is blocked on many issues. The process is stopped to agricultural lands, pastures and forests. 

 The area has not been subject to demographic shifts, the type of citizens to come, as has happened in Durres and Tirana, where the existing population before vitetve 90, is changed by several times. Rather on zone demographic popullation is under reserve. After 90-summer, 67 percent of the population left the area to migrate mainly in Greece. Southern Nfrom Qeparo to Llogara to all the coast line including the villages under the administration of the Municipality of Himara, has now only 4500 inhabitants. An equal number of students it's a serious high school in Tirana.
"PROJECT AND WORDS"

Owners will contribute monetary value land or that services provided in it, be provided. The plan envisages the establishment of commercial service areas, or light industry, and protects frutikulturën.These are some of the advantages while there are many parts that must be viewed with caution. In Porto Palermo must possess not less than 35 ha, to seek njëleje construction under the new plan. In Drale, the beaches of "white road" down Llogara and Palasa, are two such surfaces, one of 50 ha and 20 ha tjetraprej. Himara internetitnë through blogs, have begun to point to put black on white, the names of politicians who have ownership
in these areas.  

Registration properties office in Vlore can quench the curiosity of those who owned there. During discussions after the presentation of Himara, the residents say proecupeded development of this plan, since very few people in the area owning property titles. This hot potato, after having received determiatied plan will remain in the hands of the municipality, which will review the appropriate requirements for development. Another such problem is that here we talk about infrastructure and services such as water supply, sanitation and sewerage, electricity supply, or the creation of corridors forcyclists, remains to be detajuar.Një another problem remains transparent.  

There are very few people who have seen and heard something about the plan. The idea preserves a series of gaps and is indjeshëm gjlbërta trashgimnise towards historic buildings in the area. There is a positive approach towards ndërtimimeve height and saves linjate hills facing the sea. Yes amjafton it to have a contemporary plan. Is well elaborated concept development inside

Sustainable? Is there a ecologic stance versus utilizing clean energy in the range of positive experiences with the world? Responses we receive will probably be ready kurgjithçka before it is approved in the National Territory Adjustment. So far the complaints are centeredon surfaces that are left outside development areas being considered untouchable for their characteristics, which are of type or forest green crown. Yes ashtuankohen and owners whose land is located in parking spaces considered.
