AN IMPORTANT NEWS

My office has been in constant contact with the Greek authorities, following the public news of the fine of some Albanian citizens, who have exceeded the 90-day deadline for staying in Greece in recent months. Greek authorities will review all fines imposed, meanwhile ensuring that in the event of a pandemic the imposition of fines will occur only in flagrant cases, where breach of deadlines has nothing to do with the situation created by the covid19.

I ENSURE ALL ALBANIAN CITIZENS, to whom the Greek authorities will not cancel the fine imposed, that will be reimbursed 100% from the GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ALBANIA.
