In an update of the last few hours, the Ministry of Defense announced that in Shkodër the lands on the Mountain side and in Dajç are still flooded, while in Lezhë a withdrawal of water has started.
Problems are also reported on some national road axes, where the authorities appeal to avoid traveling in areas with high snow thickness, as well as to respect the rules for vehicles and not to drive with summer tires without chains.
