The road through the park is fully open to traffic after part of the route was briefly blocked a day earlier, authorities said.

Prime Minister Edi Rama said on Saturday that access to the park remains open for travellers heading there over the weekend, adding that the use of snow chains is mandatory.

The first snowfall of the season has drawn numerous visitors to the park, offering striking winter scenery.

Llogara remains among Albania’s most popular destinations, attracting visitors in winter as well as during the summer season.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared in the social media photos from the work on the ground for clearing the roads from snow and distributing salt in order not to block the movement of vehicles.

“Good morning and with the work that continues without a break to keep passable every road in the areas covered with snow, I wish you a nice Sunday,” said Rama.

Moderate rain and snow have covered the country without causing any problems on the national roads and for the movement of vehicles.

Maintenance contractors are on site to clear the road from falling materials into the road body.

Meanwhile, drivers are notified to be careful during the trip, to respect the signs, to reduce the speed and to be equipped with chains and winter tires./p.s./
