The investment for its construction captures a value of 30 million euros from the Muslim Community of Turkey. The mosque has a capacity for 5,000 people and an area of ​​6,000 square meters.

In Tirana, President Erdogan will meet with his Albanian counterpart, Bajam Begaj, as well as with Prime Minister Edi Rama. With the latter, he will also hold a conference with journalists and then leave for Serbia to conduct another official visit.
