Albania PM: World Bank Panel “Linked To Mafia”
Tirana | 09 February 2009 |
Land Mafia in “Jale”: Hotels, closes the beach and Beton, Beton and all is privat!In response to the report produced by the Inspection Panel of the World Bank, the Government of Albania has issued a response (PDF, 163KB)
Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha accused a World Bank
investigative panel of being influenced by the Albanian mafia for their
report on a controversial coastal management project that was used to
demolish parts of a village and leave many families homeless. The
internal report shows that a World Bank project on coastal zones
management in southern Albania aided the demolishment of informal
settlements in the village of Jale, in disregard to the Bank’s policies
of forced displacement. The report, obtained last week by Balkan
Insight, also noted allegations of corruption and efforts at a cover up.
The Bank has already announced the suspension of a loan for the
project.“I express my contempt for the unscrupulous slander of the
investigative panel in what they call an independent report, but which
has been dictated by the Albanian land mafia,” said Berisha in a press
conference on Sunday, adding that he had asked World Bank officials to
probe the panel’s ties to organized crime.
The
investigation by an inspection panel found that World Bank management
failed to comply with its policies with respect to the design, appraisal
and implementation of the project, harming the local people affected by
it. The probe also found that WB assisted the demolition by pressuring
local construction police to take action and by supplying them with
equipment and aerial photos.In addition to the project’s failure to
comply with World Bank policies, the investigators noted allegations of
corruption and complaints that the demolition of the Jale settlements
was part of a bigger scheme to develop the area as a tourist resort.
While the panel does not evaluate these allegations, it concludes that
the selective demolition carried out by construction police supports the
intention to clear the area.The investigative panel also accused World
Bank management of misrepresenting facts during the probe and hampering
the investigation by withholding access to data, while it notes the
unusual lack of recollection of facts and crucial events by staff.
Investigators say that several WB staff members both in headquarters and
on the field were “coached” to provide unusually consistent but
factually incorrect or misleading information.In a statement for Balkan
Insight the World Bank conceded “that mistakes were made in the project,
and that ways to address the alleged grievances of those affected are
under active consideration.”“The World Bank is concerned about the
errors that were made by management and staff in the context of the
project. In accordance with our internal processes, the Bank is
reviewing actions of its staff, and, if warranted, will take appropriate
action,” the statement said.Read More: World Bank Project Demolished Albania Village

.......
Yes, Mr. Lambros.
QUESTION:
On Albania, the World Bank acknowledged yesterday serious errors by the
Albanian Government against a Greek village in northern Epirus and
presented an action plan for addressing this issue to a panel. I am
wondering what is the U.S. position, since the European Union is
involved, too.
MR. DUGUID: I would refer you to the World
Bank for their action, and I believe that the – this matter is before
the courts in Albania, so that would be – those would be the proper
places to go for an opinion on this. It’s a court matter. The World
Bank, I understand from press reports, has launched its own
investigation. They would have many more details than I would be able to
give you.
QUESTION:
One more question. Any response by Mark Toner to my pending question of
last week on the Sali Berisha supreme court in Albania regarding the
sentence of five Greeks in Himara of northern Epirus for political
reasons 25 years in prison who simply raised a Greek flag?
MR.
DUGUID: I believe that the matter is a court matter for the Albanians,
and they do have an independent judiciary that has worked through this.
QUESTION: Thank you.
