Gjirokaster, Viroi Park towards destruction

The lake that used to be a pond for boats, fishing and swimming, today is covered by algae and aquatic vegetation, turning into a safe shelter for frogs and water reptiles. The benches around the lake, financed five years ago by the Austrian Fund, which named the project “Beautiful Gjirokaster”, today are all destroyed and covered by bushes.

This place used to be full of people during the weekends, but today, the few businesses that have remained around complain for the lack of buyers.

Viroi Park is under the administration of the Gjirokaster Municipality and Cepo commune. The border between these administrations passes accross the Viroi Lake. None of the administrations seems to have done anything for the maintenance of their side, and both of them refused to give an answer.
