If you look at miners it is a true pity as more than 50% of them suffer from some form of illness caused by their work, which means that their current pension is not even enough to buy medicines and food\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Beshir \u00c7uka suffers from three different conditions caused by his profession as a miner, while he can\u2019t buy medicines with the pension he has.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pension is not enough. I buy the air pump for 5.000 Albanian Lek (around \u20ac40), while my pension is 16.000 All (around \u20ac130)\u201d, said the former miner, adding that like him there are plenty more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve worked at the gallery for over 20 years and receiving a \u20ac129 pension is ridiculous and unfortunate\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Llazi K\u00ebrxhalli no longer pleas to political parties, now he\u2019s making an appeal to the foreign ambassadors in the country and hopes that they receive their support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is time to make a call for the foreign embassies, particularly that of the United States and the EU because we have lost all faith from political parties and the government\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2020\/11\/11\/albanian-miners-in-difficulties-as-pandemic-shrinks-chromium-market\/\">Albanian miners fear losing their job as pandemic \u201cshrinks\u201d chromium market<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2019\/12\/04\/bulqiza-miners-go-on-strike-to-demand-better-working-conditions\/\">Bulqiza Miners on strike, demand better working conditions<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2020\/09\/29\/oil-drillers-go-on-hunger-strike-after-protesting-for-2-weeks-over-unpaid-salaries\/\">Oil drillers go on hunger strike after protesting for 2 weeks over unpaid salaries<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of former miners from the district of Kor\u00e7a have been battling for over 20 years to get their due status, which guarantees them no less than 300 Albanian Lek (around \u20ac240).
