Prime Minister Edi Rama has described the European Union's investigations into corruption with IPARD II program funds, which are suspected to have been misused by the Ministry of Agriculture in Albania, as addressing several irregularities.
Rama said on "Off the Record" with Andrea Dangli on A2 CNN that 500 projects in the country have been financed through the IPARD II scheme, as the funds were released after addressing the problem in the government, with the EU drawing attention.
"A significant portion of that fund has been disbursed and today in Albania there are 500 projects that did not exist before and to which this fund has contributed. And as has happened in other cases within the EU, the last case was in Croatia, the European Commission has an audit structure, it has found some irregularities and has requested that we address the irregularities from a systemic point of view and we are doing this," Rama said on "Off the Record" with Andrea Dangli, on A2 CNN.
