Pacolli's full reaction

It is unfair to create stories with insinuations. The article is as distorted as it is unfair.
I, together with the director of the Mabco company, the majority concessionaire of Vlora Airport, have been to the Prime Minister's Office simply for a courtesy visit, where we informed about the progress of the works at Vlora Airport.
It is not at all true, nor correct, to say that there was any pressure or request for the government to be involved, as some media report.
In fact, since the airport is now entering a new phase of professional development, Mabco has started the process of internal reorganization, which is only related to normal management.
Taking the opportunity from a deeper reading of an article in the media, I want to confirm that the work on the completion of Vlora Airport is moving forward successfully and with the full support of the Albanian government! We can't wait to complete the airport on time to give Albania and its beautiful coast another destination.
VIA's shareholder decisions are nothing more than routine procedures related to normal processes related to the guarantee to financial institutions not to transfer shares as long as the loans received or to be received in connection with the development of the airport have not been repaid./ CNA
