In a social media post, Balluku stated alongside the images:

“This is the view that the Tirana–Durrës expressway will have once the expansion works are completed.”

The minister emphasized that this road segment will meet European road safety standards and will include all other elements of urban infrastructure, such as lighting and greenery.
