First response coming from Edi Rama following floods in Albania

Rama, has thanked all those who contributed to this situation.

They can follow the situation through the screens, I want first to thank Lulzim Basha, the DP chairman who expressed yesterday understanding to cut off budget discussions and give us the opportunity to close the session and be in charge of the task. I want to thank the defence minister very sincerely since then on the ground along with the armed forces and civil emergency groups. We have the maximum readiness compared to other years because we have the right experience. The situation was warned. Our powers, or logistics, are limited, but thanks to rescue operations especially during the night that the day is easier and that we have no loss in people. Unfortunately, he lost his life in the line of duty to an OSHEE employee. I will express condolences to him. And I'll thank the mayors for doing great work and mayors for all the work they've done and are doing. I repeat the appeal that all citizens in the vulnerable areas following that a further surge of the Vjosa River is provided by the flows from across the border and brings the touch of many areas in this hostage to keep their eye on and respond to the demand of facilities to evacuate. The Ministry of Defence and Health are engaged. Save people, as much as we can cattle, and when the sun comes up, the rest of the balances said Edi Rama from Vlora.
