"In cooperation with the State Health Inspectorate, the National Institute of Public Health and the local government, work will be done to close or remove commercial premises and mobile sales points that sell alcoholic beverages and expired food products near schools, which often serve as gathering points for citizens with criminal records, users of alcoholic beverages and narcotics, as well as a source of danger for disruption of public order or other violent actions against teaching staff and school students ," emphasized the Director of the Public Order Directorate, Agron Çeli.
