Second contingent of Albanian marines, part of NATO operation at the Aegean Sea, is deploying today.
The Minister of Defense, Mimi Kodheli, was present at the ceremony and praised the Marine Forces for helping with refugee waves from the Aegean Sea, for protecting democratic values and increasing security in the region.
The presence of our Marine Forces in the Aegean Sea started last November with warship “Oriku P-132” and its crew, part of the NATO “See Guardian” operation.
The second contingent with 21 marines under captain commander Silvan Boni will replace the first one, which will return home this month.
The “Oriku P-132” ship is made of Dutch, British, Greek and Turkish ships, with the mission to stop illegal traffics.
