At the height of the protests over the Rrjoll project, where residents clashed with the police, or participated in the massive protests of a few months ago, the government "rewarded" the businessman who opened the construction site, where his guards clashed violently with everyone. According to exclusive documents available to the Vox News editorial team, on May 13, 2026, the National Territorial Council conditionally approved the permit for businessman Bashkim Ulaj.

The signature on the permit was placed by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who seems to have snubbed the entire protest of the residents in Rrjoll or the massive gatherings in Tirana with this signature. The government has followed up with another permit, all the more so in one of the most beautiful areas of Albania, in the green hills of Jala in Himara, where the entire mountain is being flattened and the coastal area is being occupied.

The permit was approved in 2025 and signed a few months ago, as it has become clear in recent days, with the beneficiary being the developer, the company "ABA Real Estate Management".

"The National Council of Territory and Water decided to conditionally approve the construction permit for the object 'hotel and residential structure 1,2,3,4,5 floors above ground, with 1 floor underground', located in Jalë, Himara Municipality. The permit document is issued to the applicant only after completing the technical legal documentation and paying the infrastructure impact tax on behalf of the Himara Municipality ," the document states.

Vox News reviewed documents from the National Business Center, which show that this company was registered in 2023, while its owner is Mr. Bashkim Ulaj, the owner of the company that is building the resort in the Velipoja area in Shkodër.

What and where will the Ulaj family build this time?!

The documents show that she has been relocated to southern Albania, to one of the most coveted areas in our country, on the shores of the Ionian Sea.

"The area for which this study is presented is located in Jalë-Himarë, namely in Cadastral area No. 3844. The area under study is of particular interest. It is presented as a developing area with new constructions and with a great potential for further development with service, hotel, commercial and residential facilities. The position of the facility has a distance of 300m from the beach on foot, which makes it easily accessible. The construction site has a relatively regular shape with an area of ​​5000 m²," the documents state.

According to the documents, Dodina is developed on five floors and accommodates hotel, residential and bar-restaurant functions.

"A bar and restaurant are planned on the ground floor, which is directly connected to the pool area and the outdoor area. The hotel function will be carried out on the floors above this level, while the residential units are distributed in the rest of the building ," says KKT.

According to her, the resort will be called "Nereida" and complements the area by respecting the context of the location and at the same time communicating with the surrounding environment.
