The situation from the fires in the country is very serious. The flames have burned not only hundreds of hectares of land with forest reserves, fruit trees, have burned houses and continue to progress, posing great danger from Saranda, in Tepelena, Vlora and Gramsh.
The Ministry of Defense does not give much information, it "rations" it almost twice a day, pointing to the hearths extinguished during the night.
However, the European Union in Albania reveals another sad reality. Not only are the fires spreading throughout the country, but there are already teams of Czech and Slovak firefighters here, which shows that the situation is critical.
EU announcement in Albania:
Fires are spreading throughout Albania, destroying nature and endangering lives.
But EU solidarity remains strong. Alongside Albanian firefighters, we are working tirelessly to save lives and protect communities. Here, Slovak and Czech firefighters are in action in a fire near Tepelena.
