TIRANA, Aug 14 /ATA/ – Medical teams are already on the ground to provide care to the citizens stuck in long queue waiting to cross the Kakavije border crossing.
The doctors and nurses teams checked the health condition of the citizens on Friday evening, assisting them to cope with any problem they face.
Long queues of travellers and traffic jam were created at border crossings of Kakavije and Kapshtice seeking to enter Greece following the decision by Greek authorities stipulating a seven-day mandatory quarantine and a negative test certificate for all citizens travelling to Greece starting August 17.
The reduced working hours for the Greek border authorities is to be blamed for the long queues of citizens along border crossings in Kapshtice and Kakavije.
In the meantime, Albanian authorities are taking all necessary measures to assist citizen, while about negotiations are underway about ways to boost testing capacities and extend the working hours for the border police at the Kakavije border crossing.
Speaking to reporters at Kakavije border crossing earlier, Defence Minister Olta Xhaçka said that maximum attention is being paid to the citizens stuck at border.
“We are doing utmost efforts to make sure that none of the citizens are deprived of the basic needs. Together with the Ministry of Health we are coordinating efforts to assist them by employing many teams of doctors and nurses and ambulances. We have coordinated with the Ministry of Infrastructure for the supply of several dozen mobile toilets. Together with the municipalities of Dropulli and Gjirokastra, we are also coordinating efforts to provide to food to all families waiting here,” Xhaçka said.
