Albania is reportedly undergoing significant de-industrialization, experiencing the sharpest drop in production across Europe, second only to Ukraine. This economic concern emerges as the country grapples with various domestic issues.
In other news, a substantial arsenal of explosives and firearms was uncovered in Laç following a report of domestic violence, leading to two arrests. Meanwhile, new wildfires have broken out in the Krujë area, prompting firefighting efforts to prevent their spread.
The nation also continues to see anti-government protests, now in their 76th day, with diaspora members reportedly joining the demonstrations. Amidst these protests, Prime Minister Edi Rama is accused of bolstering the government's propaganda sector. On a brighter note, two Albanian football clubs, Dinamo and Egnatia, have made history by qualifying for European competitions.
