The agreement of the new Port of Durrës is approved in the Commission for Production Activities. This is another Commission that has decided "in favor" of the agreement for the Port of Durrës.

At the meeting there were discussions but also clashes between the majority and the opposition. Opposition MPs have opposed this project, stressing that the agreement lacks transparency, also accusing the "Rama" government of corruption.

Democratic MP Lefter Gështenja has accused the government of not being transparent about the agreement for the Port of Durrës. In the Production Activity commission, Gështenja says that DP is not against developments, said that this project belongs to a company without competition.

Lefter Gështenja: If 2.1 billion is the largest value invested in these 30 years in Albania, being the first time, I would say that this draft law has no reason to be done with an accelerated procedure, but the Albanians have no property to lose to we have to take it a little more seriously. The way it was processed leaves a bad taste, in other words, this work smells like it started with Mr. Muhammad and is ending with Mr. Ramazan. Albanians demand transparency, now that the agreement came to the parliament, they are finding out what is happening, 1 year that the government has been negotiating, is there transparency? In the incoming materials for the deputies after a great pressure in the Parliament are again incomplete.

The head of the Agrare Ambientalista party raised concerns about whether Porto Romani meets the conditions to turn into a commercial port. The director of the Port Authority Pirro Vengu says that every detail is analyzed, while he informs that the tender for the new commercial port of Durrës in Porto Romano will be opened very soon.

Xelal Mziu: We didn't even have competition. What is the real cost of dismantling and transporting this port to go somewhere else. Does it justify the kind of benefit we have to date? You are echoing Alabbar with great fanfare as a person who will bring innovation, but in Croatia and Serbia, not only is it not over, but it is being extended beyond the deadlines that were set. Muhamed Alabbar, a strategic investor that you are echoing that will bring innovation, failed in Croatia? In Serbia, where there were much more advantageous contract terms, in Serbia it is dragging beyond the deadlines that were given. This Muhamed Alabbar is a strategic investor in Belarus, Putin's ally, how can we give such a strategic point to a person who has a ruble background?", said Mziu.

Head of the Commission, Arben Pëllumbi: He is not Alabbar, he is Mr. Alabbar, a respected figure, the founder of Emaar, the chairman of the board of Emaar is his mind that transformed that city. A man who manages to secure 2 billion in personal income per year needs to form a group of companies. Let's not talk with connotations as if something is happening..
