Seven days of protests over coastal project

Protests against the disputed coastal project in Zvërnec have entered a seventh day, with demonstrators calling for the development to be scrapped.

Hundreds of people on Saturday marched in central Tirana from Skanderbeg Square to the prime minister’s office.

Protesters described the rally as a citizen-led movement against the project and carried banners saying the country was not for sale.

Speakers also raised wider concerns over property rights, corruption, emigration and the cost of living.

Some chants targeted both Prime Minister Edi Rama and opposition leader Sali Berisha.
