Protest in Zagori, representatives of company expected with protests

Residents in the village of Sheper of Zagoria have done anything but welcome the representatives of the ‘Shell Company’. Protests among community members awaited the representatives who went there for a public hearing on their plan for oil exploration in the area.

Residents have refused to enter the Hearing and instead have held debates with their local representatives of the Libohovë Municipality. They are now seeking to have their objections expressed at the Hearing.

Representatives from the Shell Company have already held several hearings, but have faced opposition by environmentalists and locals.

The National Park of Zagoria will soon become the primary location for the study by the Netherlands Company, known as ‘Shell for finding oil reserves.'

The project is expected to start in the spring of this year, while debates and objections have already begun.
