According to him, at the “Safe Heaven” forum, “There were discussed global perspectives of economic reality, investments and measures against risks, portfolios and digital identity”.

Present at the ceremony organized for the 112th anniversary of the State Police, Veliaj said that, “Thanks to the work of the State Police, Tirana has become one of the safest cities in Europe.”

“Whoever works for the Tirana police has an even more difficult task because a much larger population lives here than in other districts. Today, the State Police has turned Tirana into one of the safest capitals in Europe,” said Veliaj.

The mayor underlined that due to the security provided in Tirana, there is an increase not only in its population, but also in the number of tourists.

“When we look at Eurostat statistics; when we see that micro-crime is among the lowest in Europe; when I see how my fellow-mayors in other cities cannot imagine life at night after 2 or 3 o’clock, while Tirana is bustling 24/7, this is an extraordinary compliment to the State Police. Of course, we have overcome some extraordinary challenges; present-day Tirana does not only have 1 million inhabitants, but it has an average of 1 million tourists per month”, he added.

Veliaj underlined the importance of cooperation in managing new challenges, which are expected to be brought by the international events and activities that will take place this year in our country.

“This year Tirana is the Mediterranean Capital of Culture and Dialogue, so we expect that there will be a lot of movement, there will be many delegations. I believe that it will pass successfully, and I know that present-day Tirana has become a political center thanks to the prime minister’s insistence”, said Veliaj. /k.s/j.p/p.s./
