The situation at Artana Fortress continues to be serious because of the company's nonprofessional work “Coto” from Serbia.
So said today during a consultative meeting with the works in this castle.
Director Ismet Hajrullahu has sought the help of all institutions, but also citizens to protect this most important cultural and historical monument.
The Cavalry of Artana today is in a state of distress from the works the company has been doing to Serbia, and the very important thing is to stop its damage. Today we invite you as an institution, and to the citizen, to help solve the problem for Artana Castle”, is called Hajrullahu.
And architect Avni Mamaj has said there is evidence that this company has caused irreparable damage to the findings of artifacts.
We have evidence that this company has concreteized artefact findings in Artana Fortress. Another wall scandal has begun to fall that this probably happened because of the non-professional work of this company. After the situation created, this company has taken on damage sanctions caused by the U-contacted company NESTO”, he said.
Meanwhile, Isuf Koci from the Council for Protection of Cultural Heritage has said this company should have criminal responsibility.
“also concern of ours is that the company that has done damage has its criminal responsibilities. Can't have a company causing damage to appreciate that damage. We consider that many other assets in the country are being destroyed.
There were disagreements among those present in this dispute. Archaeological Institute Director Enver Rexha said that works from this company are politicising.
The problem is that the work the company is doing is being politicised. We don't need to sell patriots”, he said.
In 2015, U n NESTO had awarded the Artana Fortress to the KoTO company from Belgrade for restoration. After a three-year job costing over 1m euros, the fortress begins to collapse gradually.
After this scandal, restoration is resumed, which has been overseen by the IKMM. This institution, in view of this collapse scandal of walls with excavors from the Serbian company, has by decision interrupted all works. Despite this, the work continues to fail to comply with the IKMM decision.
