The representatives of the Vimtikorp company express their surprise about this, and say that only few weeks ago they have brought another package in Albania, again for the Rrapo Company.

“This is not the first time. We have brought some containers a few weeks ago. We export to many companies and Rrapo is not the only one. We established contacts with them 6 or 8 months ago. They said they needed 2-3 containers each week. We have sent 1 or 2 every week, sporadically”, declared the Ecuadorian company.

The Albanian Police are exchanging information with their Montenegrin counterparts to discover the scheme of this traffic.
