TIRANA, Oct. 9 – Tirana Logistic Park, a Euro 40 million investment by Albania-based Balfin Group and the Albanian-American Enterprise Fund launched its construction works this week in Kamza town, just outside Tirana. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Prime Minister Sali Berisha hailed the importance of the park which will employee around 1,100 people, as an important moment for the country. “I guarantee the present investors and all Albanian investors that government considers their support as vital and a shield for the country,” said Berisha, stressing on the considerable number of jobs such projects create.
