TIRANA, July 28 – The rising number of visitors has increased inspections along the Durrës coastline. Authorities continue to focus on illegal street vendors who operate outside the legal framework and disturb beachgoers.

“Every week, we hold a meeting with the Task Force to review identified issues and address concerns along the coastline. As in every tourist season, the main challenges remain street vendors, beach safety and the operation of lifeguard services,” Task Force Coordinator Oltsen Gripshi said.

Meanwhile, the Task Force conducts daily monitoring with responsible institutions to identify and resolve issues that may affect the tourist season.

“We cooperate closely with the National Coastline Agency, Durrës Local Police and Municipal Police. Our teams remain in the field to identify situations that require solutions. The Durrës branch of the National Food Authority is also part of the Task Force and carries out daily food safety inspections at businesses operating in coastal areas,” Gripshi said.

In addition, the National Food Authority continues inspections at coastal businesses. Officials check trading conditions, product storage and compliance with hygiene and food safety standards.

Authorities aim to ensure safer and higher-quality services for visitors throughout the summer season.
