The following announcement of the press office is a strong message, for which the security measures are also maximum by the Albanian government.

Meanwhile, for any deterioration of the situation, which often occurs in Albania, this time NATO has taken its own measures, for an intervention from the sea and the ground, being ready, the special forces of the US Navy and the Task Force of the British Navy, but also to special troops from Greece in the Ionian Sea.
