Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, during his speech at the gathering near his apartment, declared that the construction industry is heading towards a bankruptcy crisis.
According to Berisha, Tirana is the capital with more empty apartments than the entire Balkans together.
Part of Berisha's speech:
My friends, the narcoeuro has finally destroyed the housing market. Albania today, Tirana today has more empty apartments than all the Balkan countries put together. And yet, the towers, the monuments of drugs and corruption, rise every day.
Prices go into the stratosphere. The country is heading towards a terrible bankruptcy crisis of the construction industry. Every citizen who wants to buy a house in Tirana, it is impossible, because drug money does not allow it. Narkoeuro keeps the price in the stratosphere.
