For four years now, the Albanian government wants to build an international airport inside the Vjosa-Narta protected area.
Four panelists expressed their opinions against this illegal intervention, based on the expertise and studies conducted in the field. They emphasized the international importance of Vjosa-Narta and its status of protection not only by Albanian legislation but also by international conventions.
Vjosa-Narta, in addition to being a natural gem with priority habitats listed in the European Union habitat directive, is also of cultural value, which was highlighted by an anthropological study made for the area.
The topics addressed held the public’s interest, who were quite interactive with the panelists, making suggestions for the follow-up of the issue and telling success stories.
