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

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, has responded to the ultimatum of the Union of Public Transport, which announced that from today it will reduce urban buses in the capital.

Therefore, I am glad that they came to their senses and went to work today. However,
