Vlora has entered the second week of a large-scale operation to demolish illegal structures. The goal is to free public spaces and improve urban infrastructure.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Edi Rama shared photos of the promenade on social media. The images showed the area cleared of barricades that had blocked movement and public access.

“Vlora this afternoon. This is how the promenade came back to light, just by removing absurd barricades and the eyesore of scattered kiosks. Now everyone has their space: citizens, visitors, tourists, and service units, freed from clutter and repositioned with civic order,” Rama wrote.

This cleanup effort is part of the government’s push to revitalize public spaces and strengthen urban order, especially in the country’s tourist areas.
