AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Parliament Protest Turns Violent: Protesters clashed with police outside Albania’s parliament after trying to break a security cordon, with pepper spray used and eggs/flour thrown at lawmakers’ cars as the 32-day campaign against the Zvërnec coastal resort project grows. EU Pressure on Enlargement: EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas urged Bosnia to accelerate reforms, warning the accession “window of opportunity” may not stay open, as reform delays have already cost €108m and more funding is at risk. EU Funds Reallocated: The EU plans to redirect Western Balkans Reform and Growth Facility money toward Montenegro, Albania and North Macedonia, while laggards could lose support if deadlines aren’t met. Corruption Watchdog Limits: SPAK chief Klodian Braho said the anti-corruption agency lacks operational capacity to carry out arrests of fugitives, prompting a new strategy discussion. Tirana Detention Review: Albania’s Constitutional Court ordered a new review of Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj’s pretrial detention, citing proportionality and his elected mandate. Economy Forecast: The Vienna Institute cut Albania’s 2026 growth outlook to 3.6% (from 3.9%), still keeping it among the region’s fastest growers. Pension Relief: Pensioners have started receiving a 5,000-lek summer bonus, with plans to shift toward monthly top-ups from 2026. Coastal Resort Defense: PM Edi Rama defended the Zvërnec luxury project, arguing it will boost jobs, services and higher-value tourism. Energy/Business: SOCAR Trading said it’s eyeing expansion in Africa and Southeast Asia, while also strengthening operations along the Black Sea coast including Albania.
