Veliaj issued an ultimatum to public transport associations: "Whoever does

However, I believe that it was dishonest for the Municipality of Tirana to be blackmailed in such a way, while we have been proving for 8 years that no one can blackmail the Municipality of Tirana. Therefore, I am glad that they came to their senses and went to work today. However,
