Poverty Watch: INSTAT revised data shows over 10% of Albanians face severe hardship, with about 245,015 people in extreme poverty and many struggling to pay basic bills. Local Governance & Environment: Residents in Qerret’s Blue Lagoon area accuse Kavajë authorities of cutting pine trees, demolishing walls and building a new access road without consultation or published paperwork. Public Safety: A fire broke out at the Tirana Local Police Directorate, with authorities suspecting an electrical overload; no injuries reported. Crime Crackdown: Italy and Albania, with Eurojust support, arrested 12 suspects in a joint operation targeting drug trafficking and money laundering linked to a May 2025 murder. Regional Diplomacy: Albania said it will not withdraw diplomats from Kyiv after Russia urged foreign missions to leave, calling it intimidation.
