Morina Faces Heavy Traffic, More Than 14,000 People Entered Albania in Just 12 Hours for the Summer Holidays

A large number of holidaymakers from Kosovo and countries in the region have headed to Albania for the summer season, bringing increased traffic at the Morina border crossing.

Official data show that from 20:00 in the evening until 08:00 this morning, 12,642 foreign nationals and 1,471 Albanian citizens entered Albanian territory. Also, during this time period, 119 buses crossed the border.

On the other hand, the number of departures from Albania was significantly lower. In the last 12 hours, 1,887 citizens left through Morina.

Proximity to Kosovo, reasonable prices and the beaches remain among the main reasons why many holidaymakers prefer the Albanian coast.

Although the flow of travelers was high, no queues were recorded at the border crossing, while crossing procedures are continuing normally, also as a result of the agreement on facilitated movement between Albania and Kosovo.
