Since the beginning of the summer season 2019 the sea has claimed the lives of 11 local and foreign vacationers.

Victims have been mainly over 60 years of age, but there have been even more unfortunate cases when the sea has not spared even the younger ages such as the 18-year-old drowning on one of Lezha's or 31-year-old beaches by Skrapar, whose body was found drowned in the Durra area of Curillas.

According to police, in most cases death is allegedly derived from acute health complications, but so far there is no detailed report from both the State Police and the Health Ministry to clarify the causes.

In turn, the consumer protection office holds central and local institutions responsible for the absence of coastal guards.

After assessing the situation on the ground, the consumer protection offices listed as safer the beaches of Kavaja, as well as part of the beach of Szenjini and Saranda at a time that has not been listed on 13 other beaches for observation towers or life-saving, followed by News24
