Executive Summary The evolution of Albania’s fragile democracy during the review period (which did not include the 2013 elections and post-electoral period) showed signs of a downward spiral. Indicators of this trend include the government’s demonstrative failure to organize free and fair local elections in 2011; infringement of the principle of separation of powers through the placing of majority party’s representatives in crucial state positions; political interference in major political investigations; and a failure of the judiciary to persecute cases of abuse of public office.

  • Petroleum Exploration & Production Activities in Albania
    PETROLEUM EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES IN ALBANIA 1 1 I. GENERAL INFORMATION & ENERGY BALANCE OF ALBANIA 2 Albania is located on the west side of the Balkans in the Southeast of Europe Capital: TIRANA Currency: Albanian lek (ALL) language: Albanian Black Sea Government: Parliamentary Republic Population: 2,821,977 2 Adriatic Sea Area: 28,748 km Aegean Sea Ionian Sea Albania, by land, is bordered by Monte Negro in the North, Kosovo and “Former Republic of Macedonia” in northeast and east, and by Greece in the Southeast and South, whereas in the West it is bordered by the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. 3 From the geological point of view, Albania is part of the Mediterranean Alpine Folded Belt and fits in the Dinaric-Hellenic range, between the Dinarides in the North and Hellenides in the South ➢ The geological structure constituting Albania is called the Albanides, a term widely used at home and abroad. ➢ The Albanides are divided into: ALBANIDES ▪ INTERNAL ALBANIDES. (east part of country) ▪ EXTERNAL ALBANIDES. (west part of country) Here are located the oil and gas fields 4 5 I.3 Baseline Final Energy Demand Forecast - the final energy demand in the transport sector from 816 ktoe in 2014 to 1431 ktoe in 2030 (the contribution of the transport sector in the total energy demand will remain almost constant from 37.78% in 2014 to 37.54% in 2030,) - the absolute consumption will increase almost about 60%. This will happen because today in Albania has 12 cars per 100 residents far from EU situation. The number of cars increased by an average of 25,000 per years, which shows that Albania is a growing market for oil products according to national energy strategy.
