Addressing the challenging nature of August regarding active fires, Rama expressed confidence in the current preparedness levels of the country. In a statement, Rama noted that the newly operational firefighting aircraft has commenced its activities, augmenting the resources available to combat the fires during this difficult month.
He emphasized that Albania is now in a stronger and better-prepared position than previously.
