Tirana lights up Christmas tree in “Skanderbeg” square

TIRANA, December 5/ATA/ Tirana lit up the giant Christmas tree located in “Skanderbeg” square this evening.

The central square of the capital was enlivened even more by the atmosphere created by the children with the repertoire of festive songs.

Mayor Erion Veliaj, present at the festive ceremony, invited the citizens to be in solidarity, more loving and help each other, because this is the only way to make it the city of dreams.

“We had a super year for Tirana as the “European Youth Capital”; we had Rita Ora and Dua Lipa in this square, Tirana had the UEFA Conference League final. Tomorrow, Tirana will welcome all EU leaders who are coming to the Balkans for the first time and have chosen Tirana to be the place of hospitality that welcomes everyone”, emphasized Veliaj.

Mayor Veliaj said that, “This is our Tirana, friends! I know not everything is perfect. But, when we cooperate, when we need each other, when we support each other, when we say well done to each other, I’m proud of you, we move forward, Tirana moves forward. The invitation to everyone, regardless of beliefs is: Let’s use this December for solidarity, for love with each other and to understand that when we cooperate, there is nothing that stops Albanians, when they gather in Tirana and make it the city of their dreams”.

Festive lights have started to decorate Tirana, bringing a joyful atmosphere in this December  when people prepare to celebrate Christmas and New Year. /k.s/p.s./
