TIRANA, May 24 – Albanian authorities across the country are making preparations to welcome tourists for summer vacations this year.
In Durres, authorities launched last week the summer vacation period with a number of ceremonies.
In southernmost Saranda district authorities launched this week an operation to clear the area of Butrint and Ksamil of some 200 illegal constructions there.
