Analyst Fatos Lubonja has described the book "Albanian Files" as evidence of the way the state has been captured by Prime Minister Edi Rama.
In an interview with "News 24", he said that the fact that the projects included in the book have not been made public to citizens is indicative of an anti-democratic approach to governance.
According to Lubonja, some of the projects were designed for protected areas at a time when the law did not allow such construction, which according to him raises serious doubts about the way decisions were made.
"The book reveals many things. First, the book is in English. You are the prime minister of your country, you present such a major project to the people with 60 studios that are scattered in the mountains, fields and sea, and the people do not know what is being done. It shows the anti-democratic mentality. Those architects try to portray him as enlightened, he says it as irony but it is not. When he tells him that when he tells him that he will become king, that you are enlightened and are making a revolution for us," he said.
The analyst also focused on the Zvërnec project, stating that the plans existed long before the legal changes for protected areas. According to him, this shows that the changes in legislation were made to adapt to the projects and not the other way around.
"The one who says there is no project for Zvërnec, he has done these projects on time. They are there as master plans. Look what is important, a good part of these projects were done when the law on protected areas had not been changed. You have protected areas and you pay architects to do projects in protected areas without the law being changed. This is state capture. They know that the prime minister does not ask about the law as it is, he changes it as he pleases," said Lubonja.
Lubonja added that the amendment to the law on protected areas should be investigated, making a comparison with other issues that are subject to justice. He also raised questions about the identity of investors who, according to him, in many cases remain anonymous.
"That law has changed, an MP whose name I don't know came out, and he made a proposal, and the parliament changed the law. Berisha is accused of changing a law that benefited his son-in-law. That's why it needs to be investigated. There is a lot of evidence that leads to an investigation from this book. There are projects that are 42 percent anonymous investors. Who are they? This leads to the money laundering thesis," he continued.
Finally, the analyst also focused on the investors of the Zvërnec project, claiming that the ownership structure was built in such a way as to not identify the ultimate beneficiaries.
"Even in Zvërnec, there are some with 24 percent in the Netherlands offshore and according to Dutch law you have to have 25 percent to say who the name is. It's good that the projects are hidden from us, the investors are hidden too. We are outside of decision-making and controls. This is criminal from a delirious person who thinks he is above the law," said Lubonja.
