The break with Pacolli and the reasons for the Turks' departure from VIA/

Kosovo entrepreneur Valon Ademi, invited to the "Opinion" show with journalist Blendi Fevziu, has given details about his rift with fellow shareholder, businessman Behgjet Pacolli.

Ademi stated that the business relationship between them was broken in May 2025 over an investment in Benghazi, Libya.

Blendi Fevziu: When did your breakup happen? At what time? When did the issue of shares come up? Earlier, later?

Valon Ademi: Mr. Pacolli and I broke up in May of this year.

Blendi Fevziu: Why?

Valon Ademi: It's that project in Benghazi, Libya. Behgjet Pacolli did something there. I learned something big from there. Behgjet Pacolli calls my man there and tells me you're going to come to my company.

Do you understand where I went with Mr. Pacolli? I went and met him in Lugano after he was sick, I was in the car with him, he started crying for two hours in the car saying that everyone was treating me unfairly and I believed him, it's that simple!

Regarding the fraud lawsuit against Pacolli at the Tirana Prosecutor's Office, Ademi said that either Pacolli goes to prison or he himself.

Blendi Fevziu: What do you expect from the prosecution?

Valon Ademi: From the prosecution, either I should go to prison as a thief, or he should go as a fraudster.

Blendi Fevziu: But this can be resolved without prison, agree, divide the shares based on the investment.

Valon Ademi: Ah, if the Albanian prosecution deals with it and he agrees, fine.

Blendi Fevziu: You wait, he or she.

Valon Ademi: I have reported Behgjet Pacolli to the prosecutor's office for fraud. He has reported me, counter-sued, so under these conditions, either I will have to answer criminally for theft, fraud, I don't know, or he will have to answer for fraud.

But Ademi emphasizes that there is a way for the relationship between him and Pacolli to work, but he does not cooperate with the Russian network Compartment Bernina.

Valon Ademi: There is absolutely no room for me to continue working with Mr. Pacolli. There is a place, but with Compartment Bernina, never.

Blendi Fevziu: Yes, there is a place for Pacolli.

Valon Ademi: But he's no longer a deserter, he's gone.

Among the issues discussed, Ademi gave his version of why Turkish investors withdrew from investing in Vlora Airport. Ademi said that the Turks were afraid to invest or perhaps they did not have the money.

Blendi Fevziu: One of the other problems was the departure of the Turks. Why did the Turks leave?

Valon Ademi: I was a witness because I called a meeting of Blendi shareholders because none of them were investing, while we should have started work. The ministry was pressuring us to continue the work, they said no, we will look at it, we will do it, while I had brought the machinery, the staff.

Blendi Fevziu: Why did the Turks leave?

Valon Ademi: They didn't want to invest.

Blendi Fevziu: Why did they enter the company when they didn't want to invest?

Valon Ademi: I don't know how to say.

Blendi Fevziu: This is the dark spot of the Turks that shows that they really came to take that money and left. They came, they also had a connection with the Fier hospital...

Valon Ademi: How much money?

Blendi Fevziu: 3 million euros.

Valon Ademi: Who gave you these 3 million euros, Mr. Pacolli?

Blendi Fevziu: Yes.

Valon Ademi: Where did he get it from?

Blendi Fevziu: I don't know where he got it from. The Turkish company left after receiving a sum of money and not doing a single day's work and not paying a single lek, which shows that it was fictitious that if it wanted to operate the airport as it requested based on the concession, the company would stay and administer the concession.

Valon Ademi: Pacolli's rumors make the Turk fictitious, while the documentation, the letters, say that the Turk was bought shares for 4 thousand euros.

Blendi Fevziu: Those are nominal shares.

Valon Ademi: Oh Blendi, do you understand that in 2021, banks didn't even want to lend to you, people didn't want to see you, what are these fools who invest in the Vlora airport?

Valon Ademi: Maybe they were afraid, maybe they didn't have money. I don't know. But at the assembly meeting, called by me, the representative of the YDA company said we can't invest in this project. It's that simple.

The investment in that project started from day one, here I also paid the contract guarantee. Aviation in 2021 was in a crisis, so anyone who told me they were going to invest would be looked at as a fool. They (Pacolli and the Turkish company) did not want this project. They were even afraid because there were high risks.

I have all the documentation, invoices, construction books, because Netflix is ??not there, it is a company that has invested approximately 25 million euros, mainly in the infrastructure of the track with the accessories around it.

We guaranteed it with whatever we had and an additional transitory collateral was requested until the construction was completed, to assure the bank that the money would go to the airport. All 56 million were invested in the airport. He has a problem, because I don't even have a problem with the loan.

According to Ademi, Vlora Airport will open on March 1, 2026, despite the situation appearing extremely complex.

"We will open on March 1. We will land the plane and continue operations. We do not sell tickets, do you know what Blendi's request is?! Awesome, from all the low cost companies."

The entrepreneur stated that he sued Pacolli for fraud and accused him of being a traitor because, according to him, he is collaborating with the Russian network "Compartment Bernina".

"Fraud! Blendi, the sale of the airport, brother, Blendi, he sold it." The "Delpho" contract is not a loan contract, but a violent seizure! The problem is the sales contract, a violent seizure of the airport. They won't take it! When you read the contract, you say, "Who is this person who takes on this kind of debt?! "Compartment Bernina" no one knows who he is, he will take the airport. God willing, they are not Russians, because he will also turn out to be a traitor, this is at the level of fraud. If the Russians turn out to be ours, he will also turn out to be a traitor. Delpho is not a bank!" , said Ademi./ CNA
