It seems that the capital will be in a "state siege" starting tomorrow evening, after the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, comes to Albania. The latter will take part in the summit dedicated to Ukraine and the Western Balkans, which will be held on February 28-29 in Tirana.
The summit, which will be attended by some of the leaders of the region, will be organized under high security measures, as the State Police will start implementing them from tomorrow, after Zelensky arrives in Rinas.
For security reasons and to guarantee the success of this Summit, there will be blockages and diversions of some interurban and urban axes of the capital.
