Albania, UAE sign agreement on SMART CITY project implementation

TIRANA, April 23 /ATA/ – The Minister of Interior Taulant Balla, on a two-day official visit to the United Arab Emirates, signed an agreement on implementation of the SMART CITY project in several cities across Albania in a bid to enhance security in community, protect lives, private properties and monitor the road traffic by developing an overreaching system of technological solutions.

After the signing ceremony, the Interior Minister said that the United Arab Emirates is the best example of high security standards in terms of public order and security and road traffic monitoring.

“The Memorandum of Understanding and cooperation we have just signed has to do precisely with a major project, which will initially include Albania’s major cities and throughout the country at a later stage in order to boost public security through a monitoring system of cameras and radars,” Balla said.

Interior Minister noted that the radar technology will be used to ensure road safety in the cities where the project will be implemented, while the surveillance cameras will help increase public security.

Balla said that the technology will ensure 24-hour monitoring and will replace policemen as it will employ also the artificial intelligence as a critical step towards a new monitoring and public security system.
