Affiliated Interests Founder
The daily newspaper ‘Panorama’ started publication in 2002, as a joint-venture between three businessmen, Irfan Hysenbelliu, Alban Xhaferri and Lefter Sota. The first two had considerable investments in the field of construction, while Sota was known for his metals company. Documents from the National Business Center show that Irfan Hysenbelliu owned 34% of the shares, while Xhaferri and Sota each had 33 % of shares in the company. Alban Xhaferri withdrew from the company in 2003 and one year later went on to open the newspaper “Metropol.” In 2005, Lefter Sota also transferred his shares in the company to Hysenbelliu and in the same year founded the newspaper ‘Tirana Observer.’ Both ‘Metropol‘ and ‘Tirana Observer‘ are defunct. From 2005 to June 2023, Irfan Hysenbelliu was the sole owner of the media house ‘Panorama Group. In June 2023 he donated his shares in this company to his children.
