Conflict between hotel owners in Ksamil/Teliti: It occurs due to lack of

The Advisor for Economic Affairs in the Democratic Party and at the same time the Deputy Mayor of the Tirana Municipal Council, Dorjan Teliti, through an announcement on social networks, reacted to the conflict in Ksamil by raising concern about government policies for public spaces, considering them inappropriate.

Teliti condemns the violence and points the finger at the lack of coordination of institutions on the ground.

 

"Violence must be punished, but who ignited the conflict in Ksamil?

First, I strongly condemn the violence used, as any dispute, regardless of its nature, is never resolved through strife and violence. This is a clear and unchangeable starting point.

But let's dig a little deeper: who caused this conflict in the first place? The answer leads us directly to the state and its laws. Since last year, hoteliers have been given the right to own their own beach umbrellas. This measure, while it may have had good intentions, neglected the existing reality.

For 13 consecutive years, a bar operated, which was equipped with a permit on that part of the beach to place umbrellas, having a consolidated multi-year activity with its umbrellas.

When the hotel owner requested the vacate of the space (in compliance with the law), he was faced with "legitimate resistance" from the bar owner, who had a 13-year history of state-permitted use of that area.

This situation highlights a serious problem: "the lack of long-term planning and coordination on the part of the authorities."

How can new laws be enacted and implemented without taking into account existing investments and activities, which have been developed precisely with the blessing and permission of the state itself? This ambiguity and sudden change of rules is a constant source of conflict and uncertainty for business.

"It is time for the state to take its responsibilities and avoid creating situations where citizens and businesses are forced to clash with each other due to hasty and uncoordinated decisions. The violence in this case was a consequence, but the cause is often deeper and requires political and administrative solutions," Teliti writes./ CNA
