In an interview with Reuters, Berisha cited the deal as an example of growing foreign investment and one of the largest in the Balkan country’s history.
EVN won a tender to build hydroelectric power stations in January, and officials at the time said the investment would require €900 million. Berisha gave a round figure for the deal of one billion euros for four plants. “There are negotiations now on hydropower plants, contracts which go up to, a single one (contract), one billion euros,” Berisha said in his office in Tirana. “They will be soon finalized, but negotiations are tough.” (Reuters)
