The New Year's Eve celebration is just around the corner. Residents' preparations for the festive table seem to be more tepid this year in Durrës. This is also evidenced by the images from the fruit and vegetable markets, where purchases are more limited this year.
Traders tell "A2 CNN" that citizens are focusing on basic products due to rising living costs, while indicating that many families have left the country this year.
Citizens admit that the festive spirit is no longer what it used to be. They say that not only the economy, but also changing lifestyles have put a stop to the celebration within the family.
Despite the more subdued festive picture, many families try to preserve the symbolism of the New Year, preparing even modest tables in the hope that the coming Year will bring better days.
