Contrary to what is stipulated in the law, that families who are excluded from the legalization process will have the opportunity to be rewarded in the value of the investment, in the recently approved decision only two treatment alternatives are presented for this category, which are the monthly bonus and social housing.
The government has removed the possibility of treatment with a financial reward, even though such a thing was defined in the law formalized two years ago "On the termination of transitory processes of ownership". While in both cases, both in the law and in the decision, the possibility of alternative forms is left open, but without specifying or giving details of what they might be. But what the government has done is that it has deleted the possibility of direct financial compensation, specifying in the decision that the treatment through one of the schemes, which is housing or the monthly bonus, constitute the full value of the financial reward.
"The value of the rental bonus, the value of the housing unit obtained in ownership, as well as the value of any alternative treatment, provided for in the MPT, constitute the value of the financial reward, within the treatment by the state of the beneficiary in accordance with the provision of the article 33 of the law, for recognition effect to? value that? the investment? the building owned by him, which does not constitute property, in terms of the applicable legislation in force", it is further stated in point 11 of the decision. The bonus for families that will remain in the open sky will be offered for a period of 3 years.
But in addition to the limitations in the ways of treatment that will be offered to the families that will be excluded from the legalization process, another controversial point, which penalizes the citizens, is the set deadlines. Through the latest decision, the government has "narrowed the loop" for families, which are excluded from the legalization process, leaving them a few months available to deal with one of the housing programs. Concretely, from the moment of notification by the agency about the demolition of the building, citizens will have only 6 months to say yes to the "offer", otherwise they will lose the right to benefit.
"In cases where the beneficiary entity, after 6 months from receiving the notification, does not accept any of the forms of social and economic treatment provided for in this decision, or refuses the treatment, according to the provisions of Article 33, of Law No. 20/2020 'On the Termination of transitory processes of ownership in the Republic of Albania', the beneficiary entity will be considered to have waived the right provided for in Article 33 of the law and will be considered as treated by the state", the decision states. THE SITUATION There are not a few, but more than 90,000 constructions without permission throughout the country identified by the Cadastre Agency, which contradict the qualification criteria and therefore will not be able to be provided with the ownership document. Almost half of them are concentrated in the capital.
