Roadside businesses have until July 31 to remove materials
The campaign to clean national roads from the clutter of roadside businesses has begun, to return public spaces to the function of safety and citizenship. Through a post, Prime Minister Edi Rama stated that any material within 20 meters of the road axis must be removed by July 31, otherwise legal punitive measures will be taken.
"The effort to free the national roadsides from the various types of businesses along the road has also begun. Businesses along the road segments have until July 31 to remove any type of material that is located less than 20 m from the road axis, which is also the legal safety distance - excluding buildings built with permission, but not materials in their front yards, whose fences will also have to be pulled back to the maximum possible, according to the project that will be submitted to them later by the ARRSH."
Keeping trash like these in the photo or others, from construction materials to inert materials and old cars, on the roadside beyond the announced deadline will be accompanied by severe punitive measures according to the legal provisions in force.
