The Armed Forces have surrounded the Gjirokastra airfield, in order to prevent the landing of airplanes.
Concrete blocks and barbed wire were placed by soldiers on the field. Representatives of the Ministry of Defense declared that the action was undertaken for guarding the military assets.
The measures taken by the Ministry of Defense come a few weeks after the opposition launched accusations for the landing of airplanes that transported drugs.
Heavy vehicles have brought the concrete barriers 100 meters from each other, which makes it impossible for airplanes to land.
The Gjirokastra airfield was built during the Second World War by the Italian army. The civil service at this airport was interrupted after 1944, but the field was used for military purposes and humanitarian reasons.
