AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoWildfires in Albania: Albania reported 35 wildfire outbreaks in the past 24 hours, with eight still active, as crews and air support battled blazes near Tirana (including the Dajt area above the Qafë-Mollë tunnels) and in Dibër’s Lurë region, where access corridors are being opened to protect homes. Fire investigation pressure: Socialist MP Ulsi Manja urged the Dibër Prosecutor’s Office to launch an urgent, comprehensive probe into the Lurë fires, warning against focusing only on negligence and calling for arson suspects to be identified. Crime and security: Albanian police arrested two people after finding three pistols and 34 rounds of ammunition in a car, suspecting the weapons were smuggled from Kosovo into Albania for criminal groups. Business climate: Albania plans to replace its current chambers of commerce with a single National Economic Chamber plus sector chambers, with a first-year transition cost of about 15.4 million lek. Economy and lending: The private sector loan portfolio grew by around 14% year-on-year in Q2, as banks reported stronger demand for business investment and housing/consumer credit. EU and governance: European Democrats raised concerns over the prolonged pre-trial detention of Tirana mayor Erion Veliaj, after Albania’s Constitutional Court ordered a fresh review of whether keeping him in custody remains proportionate.
