This is the albanian village that was asked to be bought by the Mercedes boss

Researcher Auron Tare has told the story of how the wife of the owner of Mercedes Benz fell in love with the sights and beauty offered by the village of Qeparo in southern Albania. He said she liked it so much that he wanted to buy it all to make it a cultural landmark for all the rich in Europe. "I went there a lot. It was Kamila, Prince Charles' wife, we sat down at the village club, there was half of the European economy, it was Benz Mercedes. It was Mark Getty of oil, it was Jean Pigozzi, the president of Citroen, Saskia Von Sonburg, and Camilla Parker Bowles. That village gentleman first gave me coffee because he knew me, and I told him to serve friends once. They were glad that no one knew them. It was also shown in London as something very interesting. But I would say, if fate had been for Qeparo, at that time the wife of the owner of Benz Mercedes wanted to buy the whole village was interested for 8-9 months. To restore it all, because the cinema was there, to bring movies or actors, to make the whole village an artistic colony. ” - said Tare.
