Ilir Meta raises doubts from prison: Fire at Syri i Kaltër, to pave the way
Ilir Meta

Syri i Kaltër in Delvinë was one of the hot areas engulfed by the flames that burned numerous areas.

Aerial intervention by helicopters was required to bring the flames under control.

Former President Ilir Meta has also reacted from detention to the serious fire situation in the country, and especially the fires in Syri e Kaltër.

Meta has dismissed accusations that the fires in the Blue Eye protected area may have been intentional to pave the way for construction and concreting of the area.

Meta says this by analyzing a statement by the Minister of Tourism, Mirela Kumbaro, a few months ago, when she said in Parliament that a "small spot" in the Manastir area in Saranda would be given for strategic investment.

Ilir Meta's full analysis:

I was amazed at the size of the flames in the forest that surrounds and adorns the Blue Eye, this unique natural monument, which is currently visited by thousands of tourists every day.

Impossible, I said to myself, that these apocalyptic flames are taking over the sky right at the Blue Eye.

I remembered my last visit there two years ago, to that natural wonder that has an ever-increasing magnetizing power, which always makes you eager to return.

Like many other visitors, I could not resist the temptation to dive into the cool waters of the Blue Eye, where, along with the freshness of that blessed water, the contemplation of that majestic and centuries-old forest brings pleasure to its zenith.

It's amazing how the flames could reach the sky where not only are there hundreds of visitors at any given moment, but also many private police personnel, who start from the parking lot and are everywhere.

Where thousands of euros are collected every day from visitor tickets, where there are also plenty of restaurants and service facilities.

Where there is endless water, and if only buckets of water had been used by the private police, the fire would have been extinguished at the first spark.

But I also remembered the small "dot" that Minister Kumbaro showed us at the Monastery of Saranda, which today has been turned into a concrete city.

I also remembered the fire that recently wiped out the pine forest in the middle of Shëngjin, on a sunny day, which they say was done to make way for profitable concreting.

Meanwhile, I remembered my visit to Srebrenica 15 years ago in memory of the 8,000 victims who were brutally murdered by the criminals of Karadzic and Mladic.

After the ceremony, on the way back, we discussed that unspeakable tragedy that shames today and forever, not only those who committed it and their nation, but also those who did not prevent it.

Meanwhile, we contemplated the magnificent forests of Bosnia, which are endless and maintained with great care.

There, every tree was registered with every piece of information.

While discussing this extraordinary care for the forests there, my interlocutor suddenly said something that was forever etched in my memory.

True, they were criminals and killed thousands of people, but they did not cut down a single tree or burn a single forest.

Meanwhile, "Rilindja" here has long chosen not only to drive people from their country, especially rural areas, but also to increase the suffering and damage of those few who remain, as is happening this year, where no preventive policy was followed, let alone declaring a State of Natural Disaster.

How can one expect accountability from a Prime Minister proven to be an enemy of the environment, a destroyer of green and public spaces, an enemy of protected areas, and a promoter of the concreting of Tirana, which today, for this reason alone, has a scorching heat several degrees higher and is also the most polluted capital on the continent.

So let's not be surprised that the flames we saw at Syri i Kaltër will in the future be a concrete "droplet" like that of the Monastery of Saranda.
