Protests in Tirana: Albania’s anti-government rallies hit a 35th straight night, with tens of thousands marching over the Kushner-linked Zvërnec resort plan and broader demands for PM Edi Rama’s resignation, including symbolic acts like toppling a Rama bust and carrying a coffin through the crowd. Government response: Rama says the project near the protected Zvërnec Lagoon is still under review, insists no final plan or permit exists, and denies environmental safeguards were weakened. Political friction inside the movement: Organizers move toward a National Citizens’ Assembly, but internal disputes are growing over transparency, representation, and how the founding group was formed. Ombudsman oversight: Albania’s ombudsman is checking complaints of police violence after protest arrests, including visits to stations and the Trauma Hospital. Crime and security: Police arrested a 70-year-old in Kukës for cultivating 1,874 cannabis plants and illegal firearms; separate reports say 46 kg of suspected narcotics were seized at Tirana International Airport. EU-linked funding: Albania expects 213.6 million euros from the EU Growth Plan reform report, with progress reported at nearly 48% of measures. Economy and prices: INSTAT data shows eggs and other livestock items drove the biggest price rises, while fruit and vegetables also climbed. Road safety: Seven people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash near the Kosovo-Albania border. Public safety at sea: A 29-year-old woman died in a suspected drowning at Porto Novo Beach near Zvërnec.
