Maybe we’ll have to tighten the measures so we can be prepared for the fall. I know that the minister has a lot of pressure from different groups of the economy and society. From sports federations, education, businesses and others, but for me it is extremely important to balance all issues. We must put the life of the citizen in the first place", said Hoti.
