Edi Rama

In the electoral campaign for the municipality of Himara, the prime minister, alongside the socialist candidate, Vangjel Tavo , promised the residents of Himara property registration within October.

Even though the deadline has passed, the responsible institutions are not accountable for the progress of the process, violating the law on the right to information.

Experts see the next electoral promise on property as the 'Achilles' heel' in Albania.

On August 2, two days before the local by-elections of the Himara Municipality, Prime Minister Edi Rama appeared alongside socialist candidate Vangjel Tavo, promising solutions to one of the most pressing problems on the coast, property.

A few hours before heading to the ballot boxes, Rama promised the Himariots the registration of all properties by the fall.

"... by the end of October all the houses will be registered. You can be in Australia and get it," promised Prime Minister Rama.

After the elections...
At the end of October, Faktoje.al requested official information on the progress of property registration in Himara.

For almost two months, the responsible institutions have been refusing to respond, violating the law on the right to information. The Municipality of Himara delegated the request to the State Cadastral Agency in Vlora.

'Based on property legislation, the institution responsible for property registration is the Albanian Land Registry, Vlora Directorate, and not the Himara Municipality.', explained the coordinator for the right to information at the Himara Municipality.

But the request delegated to the Vlora Cadastre has fallen on deaf ears. Violating every legal deadline, the Vlora Cadastre is not responsible for the progress of property registration in Himara.

The violations have been addressed to the office of the Commissioner for the Right to Information.

As of December 17, Faktoje.al has no information on the stage of the complaint process for the Vlora State Cadastre Agency.

According to the law, the Commissioner's office forces the public institution to provide the requested information, otherwise the institution is sanctioned.

While the institutions are officially silent, the fact is that property registration in Himara has not been completed as promised.

Himara Mayor Vangjel Tavo considers the process closed. But he emphasizes that only those residents who did not apply have been left without a property certificate.

"Every application for obtaining a property title for the first 90 years has been processed. There are a small number of residents who have received the legalization permit but have not applied for a certificate and who have not finalized the process. The system is open because they could be immigrants and come for the holidays," Tavo tells Faktoje.al.

According to him, within a week, residents will be notified to withdraw their ownership documents.  

Properties, the 'Achilles' heel

The President of the National Association "Property with Justice", Myrshit Vorpsi, views the property registration process with great interest, especially for the coastal area.

"The registration seems like the most uninteresting part, but it is very significant for the entire country, especially for the coastal area," Vorpsi emphasizes.

He adds that initial registrations nationwide have not yet been completed, and this is a problem that is not limited to the coast.

"So, not only in coastal areas where there are problems, but also in mountainous areas," he claims for Faktoje.al.

Vorpsi considers this process as an issue with many influencing factors, which starts with the Cadastre.

On the other hand, researcher Afrim Krasniqi says that the government has failed to reform territorial organization and legitimize private property.

"The current government is in its third term and as long as it has been in office for over 10 years and continues to make promises, it is to some extent a kind of admission of its failure to reform territorial organization and legitimize private property in Albania," Krasniqi emphasizes.

He argues that, after so many years in power, the government's repeated promises can no longer be considered sincere promises, but rather an attempt to attract voters during the electoral period.

"When the same government for more than a decade continues to make promises that it made on the first day it came to power, this is practically an attempt to attract voters in the electoral campaign," says Krasniqi, describing this as misuse of official position for electoral purposes.
