An investigation has revealed that a sanctioned Russian oligarch has benefited from tenders in the country, raising new concerns about corruption. Simultaneously, the digital landscape is facing scrutiny as dozens of protest activist profiles have been removed from Instagram, sparking fears of censorship.
In a separate development, an explosive device was reported at a private residence in Vorë. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Edi Rama congratulated his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni on her government's long tenure, making a notable public comment about his own record in office.
These events unfold amidst ongoing anti-government protests, which have now reached their 97th and 100th day, with legal proceedings underway for arrested demonstrators. The government's decision to freeze judicial salaries, previously reported, continues to be a point of contention.
