Muslims, Mosque will be built
09/10/2013

“The Muslim Community is interested only with the permit that regards the mosque. There are 23 years that the Muslim community is waiting for the construction of this mosque. As for the other buildings, everything can be verified through the respective institutions. The mosque is preserving all urban norms for the distance between another building, which is on the property of a private owner. This is not on the Muslim Community property, and it will be built by its own investors. We are interested only for the part for which we have a permit, and this is what matters for us”.

This was the declaration of the Muslim Community a few weeks ago, regarding the construction permit of another building close to the cult object that will be built. The permit stated that this polyfunctional center would be built eight stores high and three others underground.

Although with a construction permit, the polyfunctional building had no relation to the cult object, since the latter was being built by the Muslim community, while the Polyfunctional Center by another investor.

The Namazgja mosque project has never reflected the image of a polyfunctional center, and the project of this center does not reflect the cult object of the mosque.

The Albanian Prime Minister declared one day ago in the meeting of the National Council of Territory that the construction of the polyfunctional center was suspended. Mayor Lulzim Basha, and also leader of the opposition, declared that this action also interrupted the construction of the mosque.

But the Muslim Community, same as a few months ago, explained with a press release that they need to clarify the devotees and the public opinion, that as Prime Minister Rama declared in his statement, the mosque’s project will keep going on and it enjoys full support from the government. As for the property, the Muslim Community declares that they have been guaranteed by the government to find a suitable solution based on the current laws.
