Temperatures are falling in Europe and the question of gas supply is becoming more and more pressing. Coal and renewable energies will not be enough… make way for LNG, liquefied natural gas.

Ten years ago, only a handful of curious people had heard of the Albanian Alps, and its grandiose and preserved landscapes. A secret that is no longer so well kept. Tourists flock: 5.7 million between January and August 2022. But the country has not necessarily taken the measure of the necessary adaptations to protect its heritage and natural resources.
