Minister of Tourism and Environment, Blendi Klosi promised on Saturday to all Buqiza residents that he will undertake all legal procedures to suspend contract with concessionary company regarding forest protection.
He added that it has been a long time since residents have been protesting for the annulment of the concession that enables the exploitation of the centuries-old forest massif in Bulqiza.
"What I want to say is that as a minister I will request for a contract suspension based on the inspection that has been done by the Environmental Inspectorate.
Although I must say that the forest is owned by local government and that the contract must be implemented by the mayor.
Thank you for having done a great mission, that of forest protection," said Klosi.
