At a time when the action to vacate public spaces occupied by businesses over the years has begun in the capital but also throughout the country, Prime Minister Edi Rama, who initiated this movement, does not separate himself from Vlora and the situation created in the coastal city.
Through a post on the 'X' platform, the head of government, taking as an example the main pedestrian areas of Paris and London, writes that the Vlora Promenade is also a space that belongs to people and not barricades.
" No problem with chairs and service on a part of the sidewalk, like in Paris, London or New York, but without forgetting that the sidewalk belongs to the people and not to barricades, like in Lungomare ," Rama writes in 'X'.
Further, the Prime Minister underlines that the time has come to free the sidewalks from barricades and to raise both service and appearance to a new level, worthy of Albania as a tourist destination.
According to him, the liberation of public spaces in Vlora will be followed by a new design for the management of the Lungomare, so he invites businesses to cooperate with local government institutions in this context.
" The promenade is the model of the waterfront of a coastal tourist city, now it should and will be a model of the external design of a service line. Therefore, the owners and managers of the service line must remove all the barricades themselves and cooperate with the municipality of Vlora and the Territorial Development Agency for the new design, for which we will gladly support them ," Rama said.
