Brian Shinner (USA) is right when he says “The great
empires reached their universal prosperity
when they were able to
excavate
and exploit at low costs the mineral resources and vanished
together
with the destruction of these resources”.
The universal development of the most industrialised
countries in the world (G 7) is mainly achieved through the
exploitation
of flammable minerals (petrol, gas, coal, mud of coal
bitumen, radioactive elements, metal and non-metal minerals. Since
many kinds of metals have
been destroyed and those that remain are
deep-down the earth requiring big expenses to excavate and process
them (fuel to melt expensive pigments used to stop the corroding
activity), during the last 2-3 decades it is witnessed the tendency to
substitute metals with non-metal minerals. It is becoming more
evident in the technical-scientific literature that the indicator of a
country industrialisation level is being based on the increasing
inclusion of non-metals and avoidance of metals. According to the
research data, it is shown that out of 70 non-metal minerals
discovered in the entire Albania, 40 of them can be found in the
region of Shkodra - Lezha. This other gift of God should be highly
valued by the local authorities of our region because these non-metal
minerals, considering their
excavation volume and value (in dollars,
etc.), are ranking second after the fuels leaving the metal minerals
in
the third place.
The simplest
European citizen is well informed that the
primary responsibility of local government is the economic
development. In the hard economic conditions, this government first
should supervise and reduce to the tolerable limits its administration
expenses and the parasite staff, interrupt the needless activities such
as ceremonies, celebrations, trips abroad.
The leaders of the local government should consider the
interests of those from which they were elected and espeally of
