Violent Protests Erupt in Tirana, Spread Risk to Other Albanian Cities

Protests in central Tirana have turned violent, prompting a Romanian travel advisory warning of disruptions and potential spread to Shkoder, Elbasan, Korca, Vlora, and Lushnja. The escalation marks a shift from peaceful demonstration to unrest, though the underlying political trigger remains unspecified. This signals domestic instability in Albania, with implications for regional security and investor sentiment.
