Bajram Begaj secretly signed the decrees for the island of Sazan

The decision of the Strategic Investment Committee that paves the way for negotiations between the Albanian government and Jared Kushner's company for the investment in Sazan also mentions two decrees of President Bajram Begaj, through which he decided to remove the island from the Army Deployment and Deployment Plan.


The Deployment and Deployment Plan is a document that contains the areas that the Armed Forces use for their mission, in times of crisis, peace or war. Sazan Island was part of this area and since it will soon be transferred to private companies to realize the investment of the tourist resort, the president had to remove it from the Deployment and Deployment Plan of the Armed Forces by decree.

Bajram Begaj has signed not one, but two decrees necessary for the project approved by the Strategic Investment Committee, as the document states that:

 Referring to the decree of the President of the Republic of Albania No. 398, dated 02.12.2024, “On the approval of some additions and changes to the deployment and deployment plan of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Albania, approved by decree No. 8593, dated 17.06.2024, of the President of the Republic of Albania”, it results that the structure “Sazan Naval Training and Firing Area, Vlora”, falls outside the Deployment and Deployment Plan of the Armed Forces according to Annex 3.

But what makes Begaj's act more interesting is that he has preferred to keep secret the two decrees of June and December related to the island of Sazan. Lapsi.al examined the decrees published on the official website of the presidency one by one, and it turns out that neither of the two decrees mentioned by the KIS has been published on the website.

It is not known why Begaj has been discreet about the names he has signed in official documents, even though the entire negotiation process by Albanian authorities regarding the investment in Sazan is accompanied by a concern about the lack of transparency.

Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, plans to invest around $1.5 billion in Sazan, the KIS document explains, to build an elite resort there. It is not known whether Albanian citizens will benefit from this project, which Prime Minister Rama is keeping as secret as possible so that the benefits from the next scam are personal, not public./Lapsi.al
