A despicable decision signed by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama opens the way for the seizure of property in Himara. The decision refers to the registration and passage of so called "public" real estate property under the responsibility of the Ministry of Tourism.

The operation that was carried out on Tuesday for the demolition of several Greek properties in Himara has caused an outcry among residents of the area, but it has also prompted the reaction of the leader of the Unity for Human Rights Party (PBDNJ), Vangelis Dule.

Himara is under siege since Tuesday morning. The Albanian government, under Prime Minister Edi Rama, has sent strong police forces to guard the provocative demolitions of properties that belong to members of the indigenous Greek minority of the country, in defiance of the recent court orders that have put a halt on all such actions.
