Today, thousands of people are expected to descend on the square against Rama, with a kilometer-long queue in Morina...
After 34 days of non-stop protests, a grand protest against Edi Rama's government is expected to take place today.
For several days now, citizens from all over Albania, as well as Albanians from the diaspora, have been called upon to drop all commitments and join the rally in Tirana, with the aim of marking the largest turnout since the protest began. Organizers have appealed for citizens from north to south to arrive in the capital, while the diaspora, which has become increasingly active in supporting the protest in recent weeks, is also expected to play an important role.
But as hundreds of vehicles have made their way to Tirana, the situation at the Morina border crossing has changed significantly. According to reports, Albanian authorities have begun registering all citizens entering from Kosovo, causing long lines of vehicles.
The Kosovo National Border Management Center has also confirmed that since 04:00 in the morning, columns of about 3.5 kilometers have been created at the exit from Kosovo, as the Albanian side is registering the entry of every citizen into Albanian territory.
This development is also notable for the fact that for years, movement between Albania and Kosovo has been carried out almost without such controls, while today, on the day when the largest protest against the government is expected in Tirana, the procedures have been significantly increased.
A few weeks ago, Albanian authorities declared Kosovar activist Igballe Huduti, who had participated in the protests in Tirana, persona non grata. She was accused of having ties to Iran, while Ram and his loyalists attacked the Kosovo government for allowing its citizens to protest in Tirana.
Today, it seems that steps have been taken both to intimidate the participants and to register them. In the first protest, many of the participants from the diaspora were fined by the police. /Pamphlet
