Engineer shows total amount of earthquake damage in Albania

Albanian engineer Arben Mece has spoken about the damage caused by the November 26th earthquake in Albania.

He has also spoken of government responsibilities in helping people affected by the quake during the meeting of the National Committee of Reconstruction.

“Mr. Prime Minister prepared for a damage of over 500m euros. Even 10 million, and 20 million, 100 million is nothing before the damage Albania will face. What the mobilization of this amount requires our main organization and attention is to arrange for the capital to descend to the citizen. We're under the state of emergency, that means mobilization, no volunteers now. I have responded to the mobilization that supported me. Today there is no question of investment transparency, it is unequivocal. We should never discuss it. She must be centralized and we all have a general. I don't know who he is. We're here today with a letter. I was supposed to be at work. I want the duty, Mr. General, give me the job because that's why I'm here. I'm not here to tell you how honest I am. Today we have to start work. We shouldn't miss a second. Give me the job because that's what I'm here for, said Mece, broadcast the TCH.

He has stressed that the time of resolving the problem of damage caused by the quake will be long, considering the damages caused in Durres.

I've highlighted, to distinguish damage from destruction. Our construction system successfully coped with one of the most serious shocks Albania has received to this day, but we must be true that there is a defect to say yes, there is defect and we should be present with our expertise groups,” said engineer Mece.
