AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoTirana Unrest: Student-led protests entered a third day Thursday, spreading beyond the capital as demonstrators demanded Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation and better education, jobs and living conditions. The demonstrations have grown from months of opposition to a Kushner-linked resort project and wider corruption concerns. Clashes, fires and attacks on public buildings have left dozens injured; police chief Skënder Hita said 71 officers were hurt over three days and warned those responsible would face charges. Rama rejected calls to resign and offered talks on students’ concerns. Calls for Calm: The EU and Western embassies urged restraint, protection of peaceful protest and investigation of alleged excessive force. Parliament canceled its session, and a European football match was moved from Tirana over security concerns. EU Accession: Albania provisionally closed negotiations on business and industrial policy, bringing the total number of chapters closed to four as the country pursues EU membership.
