Prime Minister Edi Rama, in an interview for Kathimerini, was also asked about the ownership titles in the Himarë area.

Rama said that the problem with properties in Albania is old and painful, but during his mandate in Himare many property titles were given to the Greek minority.

“Problems with property titles in Albania from North to South are the same. The problem is that some people who remember that they are smarter than others know how to use the Greek flag as a credit card. Some use the Greek flag to poison society. They support their micro-interests using the Greek flag. Some Albanians do the same thing using the flag of the Socialist Party, or the Democratic Party or other parties. Because these Albanians cannot claim that they are minorities that are supposedly being destroyed… However, some among the Greek minority are very skilled at manipulating Athens and Athens is not able to perceive that the person who can contribute to improving relations and improving the living standards of the minority is not a Greek, it is only me, no because I work for the Greeks, but because I work for all citizens of Albania. And I think that the Greeks in Albania are a treasure and we can only appreciate their presence, that’s all. But while there are some Albanians who do not enjoy the fact that we have the same blood, there are also a few Greeks who you should not feel too proud of having the same blood”, said Rama.
