Defense Minister Olta Xhaçka had an end of year meeting with Albanian Military Attachés. In the meeting she asked their maximum engagement and attention for new cooperation projects with the countries where they are accredited. "Your role and work for the next year should focus even more on fostering joint projects between our country and the countries where you are carrying your mission, in order to strengthen the Armed Forces. Specializing our effectives and comparative advantage are two features that day by day are characterizing our Armed Forces, so your contribution and proactive role in terms of education and joint training will increase the quality of AF's performance" - said the Minister.
Not only the Armed Forces, but also their families have come together to help flood affected people. Through an initiative undertaken by the AAF, by means of a financial contribution, they have assisted more than 200 families. Assistance, which consists of clothing, food, detergents and monetary value, will be distributed to families who need support during these difficult days.
At the Center for the Reception and Administration of Aids regarding the recent floods at Support Command, the first aids from abroad have started to arrive. Up to now, besides the neighboring countries that have provided assistance, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism has also responded positively to some European Union member states through the Emergency Response Coordination Center (ERCC).
The Defense Minister Olta Xhaçka spoke at the plenary session of the Assembly regarding the recent floods and the commitment of the Armed Forces for the management of this situation.
The Council of Ministers allocated over 63 million ALL as a reward for 2917 Armed Forces and 330 State Police employees for their engagement and dedication for the assistance given to the residents affected by the flooding of this month.
