TIRANA, June 20/ATA/- The temporary General Prosecutor Arta Marku presented during the Parliamentary session on Thursday the report of the General Prosecution Office on the Crime Situation in 2018, highlighting the fact that Vlora has marked the highest number of crimes, while Dibra the lowest.
Marku emphasized that 2018 was an intensive year for prosecutors even due to the vetting process.
