Behgjet Pacolli has denounced a serious incident, which according to him is taking place inside Vlora Airport.
According to Pacolli, over 50 Chinese engineers are being kept isolated in the camp that his company MABCO has set up to house them.
He emphasizes that the entrance continues to be blocked by private guards, under the presence of the State Police, preventing Albanian workers, engineers and subcontractors who built this airport from entering their workplace.
Meanwhile, the engineers who have remained within the Vlora Airport perimeter, according to Pacolli, are not allowed to leave normally and have been told that if they want to leave for their needs, they cannot return inside.
"These people did not come to Albania to be treated as suspects or prisoners. They came to work on a strategic project," writes Behgjet Pacolli.
Pacolli has also published several photographs showing the dire situation created in the airport area, as representatives of his company were barely able to bring in food and medicine for these isolated engineers today.
"Today they asked for food and medicines. And only with great difficulty did we manage to send them basic aid. All this is happening before the eyes of state institutions. We are talking about serious violations of fundamental human rights, international labor standards and any minimum norm of dignified treatment of people. No contractual conflict can justify the isolation of people and the physical blockade of technical staff at a strategic construction site," he writes.
Behgjet Pacolli calls on Albanian institutions to intervene immediately to end this shameful situation, which, he says, is damaging not only the project, but also Albania's image in the face of international partners and investors.
