The prime minister said that at present Albania exports fish to Italy, Greece, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Croatia, Denmark, Romania, Germany, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, in the countries of the region, Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and the most elite, most difficult, richest fish market that is Japan “,
The head of government said that, “I tell those who see Albania working from portals, channels and social networks that the lowest salary you pay to work in fishing is 80 thousand Lekë”.
“Everyone needs fishermen, this is an economy that is growing and will continue to grow. Where do you find workers? With 80 thousand lek lowest salary, in they come from Turkey and Egypt to work in Albania and some with “Kristal University” degrees who claim to be lawyers who are looking for work, there is no job. Here they come and knock on the doors of the fishing industry and if they are ready to work, there is work here “, said Rama./p.s./
