Israel lifts travel warning for Albania
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe counterterrorism bureau is lifting its travel warning for Albania after a series of arrests there, as well as in Kosovo and Macedonia, after an Israel-Albania soccer game.
They had issued the warning ahead of the game, which was played last night under extreme security. Israel won the World Cup qualifier 3-0.
Ahead of the game, media reports said that 15 people had been arrested by local police.
The bureau, part of the prime minister’s office, says it lifted the travel warning due to “the meaningful prevention efforts of the Albanian forces” and the fact the game was completed.
