According to Rama, all businesses operating on the edge of national roads must vacate the occupied spaces and respect the 20-meter distance from road channels by July 31.
Today, through a reaction on Facebook, Prime Minister Edi Rama has given another ultimatum to businesses that have occupied spaces along national roads.
The head of government says that businesses have until July 31 to vacate them, emphasizing the government's determination to finally free these areas from any element that compromises road safety and the environment.
According to the Prime Minister, businesses that operate near road segments have until July 31 to remove any material located less than 20 meters from the road axis, a distance legally defined as a safety zone.
"The effort to free national highways from the various encroachments of roadside businesses has also begun."
Businesses along road segments have until July 31 to remove any type of material that is located less than 20 m from the road axis, which is also the legal safety distance - excluding buildings built with permission, but not materials in their front yards, whose fences will also have to be pulled back to the maximum possible extent, according to the project that will be submitted to them later by the ARRSH," Rama writes.
He described this action as part of an effort to harmonize Albania with European standards, emphasizing that informal economic development practices to the detriment of the community, the environment, and road safety must end.
"Keeping garbage like these in the photo or others, from construction materials to inert materials and old cars, on the roadside, beyond the announced deadline will be accompanied by severe punitive measures according to the legal provisions in force."
Albania is now knocking on the door of the European Union and this transitional phase of exercising economic activity to the detriment of the community and the environment as a whole, as well as traffic safety on national roads in particular, should be considered closed. By all and with the greatest national understanding, for Albania 2030 in the EU,” the Prime Minister concluded.
A day ago, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, was on the Kombinat-Ndroq-Plepa axis as part of the action to free the road axes from "occupiers".
Balluku stressed that no entity occupying space on these axes will be tolerated, as this poses a great risk to the lives of citizens. She added that there will be fines and zero tolerance for all businesses that have occupied public space and that do not have an environmental permit.
