Mohamed Alabbar arrived in Albania with great fanfare. Prime Minister Edi Rama introduced him as the man of Dubai's miracles, the builder of the "Burj Khalifa" and who would turn Durrës into a paradise similar to those of the sheikhs of the Middle East.
In fact, what is happening with the country's largest port is a completely different story. The $2 billion that was to be invested seems far away, while a short while ago the authorities officially admitted that two of the buildings built had sunk.
It now appears that Alabbar himself is admitting to the mistakes made in Albania. In a statement published on August 1, the founder of the Emaar company bluntly states that "he built too quickly in Albania" and that this "was a mistake."
He then moves on to what he did on the coast of Montenegro, which he calls another mistake due to the advice of an Indian lawyer.
Now that Alabbar admits the mistake, will the government admit failure? ©LAPSI.al
