Albania to reopen land borders on June 1

TIRANA, May 24 /ATA/-By Maela Marini/ – Albania will reopen its land borders to all Albanians in the neighbouring countries, be them Albanian, Kosovo, Macedonian, or Montenegrin passport holders, starting June 1, Prime Minister Edi Rama announced via a public communication on Sunday.

The Premier reiterated his appeal for constant utmost care as everyone will have responsibility to protect them and to protect each other as the exposure to the novel coronavirus increases with the reopening of the country.

“We are taking steps in line with a well-thought plan and this is not taking place gradually, quite the contrary. We are ready to reopen the land borders, but you should now we should also receive approval by other countries we have direct air transport links,” PM Rama said.

The government head cited the fact that free movement between the EU member states themselves has been suspended.

“The Schengen zone will remain closed until June 15, while flights among the EU member states have been also suspended for now. Facts are facts and the fact is that some don’t care about true facts. Albania, we all together have turned to be success story in this global war,” PM Rama said.
