Protecting maritime space in Albania/ Vengu: Coast Guard ships, a key role!
Minister of Defense, Pirro Vengui, today brought to attention the importance of the Navy's mission, while sharing the testimonies of Captains Arjan Demçe and Ilir Nezha, Captain Artan Kojtari and Sergeant Kujtim Voci, who spoke about their daily commitment to saving human lives and fighting illegal trafficking.
Vengu emphasized that the ships of the Coast Guard of the Naval Force play a key role in protecting the country's maritime space and, according to him, the mission in the Aegean Sea confirms the readiness of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Albania to export security beyond our borders.
"The sacrifice of the boys and girls of the Coast Guard is an inspiring example for all of us. Captains Arjanit Demçe and Ilir Nezha, Captain Artan Kojtari and Sergeant Kujtim Voci are the professionals who ensure monitoring and patrolling in calm and turbulent waters, saving lives and fighting illegal trafficking," said Vengu.
The captain of the ship "Iliria" Ilir Nezha indicated that the main task is to preserve our maritime space and enforce the rule of law at sea.
Meanwhile, the Commander of the Patrol Vessel Group (DDV), Captain of the III rank, Arjanit Demçe, brought to attention that the ships of the Coast Guard naval forces have carried out various missions.
He brought to attention some of the main missions undertaken over the years, such as the rescue of over 25 immigrants coming from eastern countries who wanted to cross to Italy, but also the collision of the ferry with a Turkish merchant ship, which occurred several years ago.
