3 comments
  1. Today, Albania officially becomes a participating state in the EU Civil Protection Mechanism – the EU’s disaster risk management system.

    As a full member of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, Albania will not only be able to receive immediate support but can also send assistance to countries struck by a disaster through the Mechanism, leading to stronger and better coordinated crisis response in Europe and in the rest of the world.

    Before joining as a fully-fledged member, Albania had already been supported by EU civil protection teams following the devastating earthquake in November 2019, and wildfires during the last 3 summers.
