Overnight illegal constructions


04/07/2013


Overnight illegal constructions
The electoral campaign and hopes for legalizing constructions built after 2006 caused a wave of rushed illegal constructions in Ksamil.

These small constructions appeared overnight now that few areas are still free in Ksamil. This phenomenon has also affected the beaches. The Head of Ksamil Commune says that they have identified all buildings and they will be demolished.

Ksamil is a place of exceptional natural beauty, but it has almost entirely destroyed due to illegal constructions. The first wave was demolished by the Construction Inspectorate, giving an image of a war ravaged place, with half of the buildings in ruins.

Tourism in Lin destroyed by pollution

Lin is considered one of the most beautiful tourist villages in Albania, but now has turned very disappointing. Sewage waters have been dumped in the Ochrid lake, almost destroying tourism.

This small village with an admirable view loses its magic right after one gets close to areas where water is polluted with waste materials. Sewage waters have been thrown there for as long that the residents have received promises that the situation would get fixed, but in the meanwhile, tourists have lost their interest for this village.

According to the local administration, the sewage water collector project has remained an electoral promise. Its implementation is urgent, since the sewage waters put in risk the life of the 300 families in this village.
