AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Tirana Unrest: Student-led protests entered a third day on Thursday, spreading from the capital to three other cities. Demonstrators cite poor university conditions, education costs, scarce jobs and corruption, and oppose a luxury coastal resort linked to Jared Kushner. Clashes, fires and attacks on public buildings and businesses left 71 police officers injured; reports said more than 100 people were detained over two days. Political Standoff: Prime Minister Edi Rama rejected calls to resign, blamed the opposition for the violence and said it must not derail Albania’s EU membership bid. Parliament postponed its session for a week. Calls for Calm: President Bajram Begaj urged dialogue, and the OSCE said it was ready to help facilitate talks. The banking association also condemned attacks on branches and ATMs, saying some services had been disrupted.
