The Minister of the Interior, Taulant Balla, signed during the official visit that he has been conducting for 2 days in Abu Dhabi, the agreement for the development of the SMART CITY project in several cities of Albania, with the aim of increasing community safety, protecting life, private property, and monitoring road traffic. All this, through a comprehensive system of technological solutions.

After the ceremony, Minister Balla said that the United Arab Emirates is the best example of excellence and high security standards in terms of traffic monitoring and public safety.

“The Memorandum of Understanding and cooperation that we have just signed is precisely about a large project that will be extended to all the main cities of the country as a first step. It will then be extended to the whole country in a second phase with the aim of increasing public safety parameters through a monitoring system with cameras and radars.

The radars will be used mainly to guarantee road safety in all the cities where this project will take place. The cameras will increase public safety and allow us to redeploy police forces from the streets for other services. This is a 24-hour monitoring system using the latest technology, including artificial intelligence, which is an important step towards a new system of monitoring and guaranteeing public safety”, stated the Minister of the Interior.
