Food safety risk, historic Gjirokastra with "medieval market"

Without investment and in almost medieval conditions, where food is sold on the ground, the fruit and vegetable market in Gjirokastra creates a negative contrast with the historical part and the tourists that the city attracts. In addition to its appearance, the market does not even meet the hygienic and sanitary conditions of food safety.

While the Gjirokastra bazaar and the historic part of the city are valued for their antiquity and history, the same cannot be said for the tourist town's fruit and vegetable market.

As paradoxical as it may seem, it is also true that a city that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year has such a fruit and vegetable market that is not only visually unsightly, but also dangerous in terms of food safety.

Even the few merchants who continue to sell consider the situation in which the city market has been left unacceptable.

Meanwhile, in the municipality of Gjirokastra, no one is providing clarification on the market situation, while off-camera they respond with the phrase "it will be done."/ A2CNN
