Environmental organizations file a lawsuit in the Court for the construction of
The Albanian non-governmental environmental organizations, PPNEA and AOS have submitted a lawsuit to the Administrative Court for the construction of the Vlora Airport.

"This illegal construction takes place in one of the most important wetlands with high biodiversity in the country, as well as along the Adriatic corridor, one of the most important routes for bird migration. Albanian institutions are violating the country's laws and international conventions, bypassing the procedures and rejecting the remarks of international institutions.

The non-governmental organizations will submit evidence and facts on the violation of several laws, such as the law on protected areas, the law on the implementation of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the law on territorial planning, the procedures related to the concession contract, as well as violations of regulations relevant.

Also, the plaintiff will emphasize to the authorities, the illegal processes, the lack of transparency and the involvement of the interested parties, as well as the bypassing of the essential procedures of the process. In summary, these decisions make the construction of the Vlora Airport illegal and irregular, also accompanied by negative and irreversible impacts on the environment", the Lawsuit states.
