Albania was affected this afternoon by the storm that engulfed southern Europe and that caused great damage in neighboring Italy.
Due to the worsening weather conditions in the port of Vlora and outside it, the navigation of small and fishing vessels has been suspended.
While international shipping vessels will continue to operate normally according to the authorities.
Two people have lost their lives in two different accidents in the country. A 29-year-old man died as a result of a road accident in Fier, southwest of Albania.
While on the Morinë-Milot highway in the northeast, the driver of a “Volkswagen” vehicle lost control, colliding with the side barriers. As a result, he died at the scene, while injured remained a passenger.
Bad weather may have contributed to the loss of control in both cases, however an accident investigation is pending.
