The newly elected building administrators of Tirana have joined the Tirana Municipality initiative for planting trees.

Organized in groups, together with residents, they are contributing each day to increase green areas around apartment buildings.

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, joined today’s planting work at one of the blocks.

Veliaj appreciates the citizens’ contribution and invites residents to become part of this initiative for a healthier environment.

“I am happy to see that these new apartment buildings, full of people coming from every corner of Albania, are building a community. A community is not only when your address is in Tirana, but also when you get together with neighbours, when you show solidarity and when you join operations such as this one. If the 5000 apartment buildings of Tirana planted 10 trees each, we’d have 50,000 more trees in our city”, Veliaj said.

Veliaj said that all citizens of all political affiliations support the idea that the city needs more oxygen. That’s why when it comes to increasing green areas, they are one single party.
