2026-11-12 09:58:00 / AKTUALITET
The Ministry of Environment has revoked the environmental permit of the company Kurum International for its activity in the area of the former Metalurgjiku Combine in Elbasan.
The decision was made by the Minister of Environment, Sofjan Jaupaj, who on November 3, 2026 signed Order No. 540 to revoke the type A environmental permit issued to the company in September 2016.
The decision affects a number of KURUM's industrial activities, including steel production, metal smelting, foundry, metal processing and welding, as well as lime production.
The proposal to suspend Kurum's permit came from the NEA and was approved by the Ministry of Environment.
The decision of the Ministry of Environment comes after 2 years that the Turkish company has been under investigation by the Durrës Prosecutor's Office for a shipment of hazardous waste sent from Durrës to Thailand and then returned to Albania due to the danger they posed.
Regarding the 2,800-ton dangerous cargo, the Durrës prosecutor's office issued 33 arrest warrants in February 2026, including officials holding state positions.
