AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Protests: Albania’s student-led unrest entered its eighth day, fueled by demands for better university conditions and anger over corruption, with protesters calling for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign. Clashes have damaged public buildings and left hundreds injured. Rama says he will create a registry of violent protesters and seek travel restrictions with EU partners. Economic fallout: Around 80 Tirana businesses have reported protest damage, with losses reaching €120,000; the central bank says deposits and banking services remain safe. Accountability: Prosecutors have formally charged former deputy prime minister Belinda Balluku over alleged tender-rigging. Former footballer Igli Tare faces money-laundering charges over claims he registered villas linked to Balluku in his name. Press freedom: Rights groups say police have attacked journalists covering the unrest and are urging investigations. Legal row: An Albanian court has ordered the extradition to Turkey of activist Julide Yazici, who has asylum in France; she can appeal the ruling.
