Democratic Party Chairman Lulzim Basha visited the farmers of Shishtavec in the district of Kukës, an area that is famous for its production of quality potatoes.

Basha said it’s a sin that this area has been maltreated and abandoned totally.

“It’s a sin that – while people are having problems with guaranteeing basic food – we cannot manage to guarantee the selling of your potatoes.  Albania is full of imported products. Why? Because the government is not by your side”.

Basha said he would not promise to do miracles, but he would always be by their side “with subventions and direct support for the farmers”.

“This is the only way to save our agriculture, to halt emigration, because all the youth is going away when this country has extraordinary assets and potential”.
