Protesters gather for fourth night over coastal project

Protesters marched in Tirana for a fourth day against a planned tourism project near Zvërnec, on Albania’s coast.

They gathered in Skanderbeg Square before walking towards the prime minister’s office.

Protesters called for the project to be cancelled, saying it could damage the environment and natural assets in the area.

During the march, they briefly clashed with police, who had blocked part of the boulevard as part of security measures for an Albania-Israel friendly match.

Police later opened the road and protesters continued towards the prime minister’s office.

The protesters have also called for changes to laws on strategic investors, protected areas and cultural heritage.
