Albania: Democratic Party calls for protest outside Parliament in Tirana Feb. 5
Democratic Party to lead protest at Albania's Parliament in Tirana from 16:30 Feb. 5. Increased security, localized disruptions likely
The Democratic Party of Albania (PD) will lead a demonstration outside Parliament in central Tirana from 16:30 Feb. 5. The PD will call for the government to respect free speech and regular parliamentarianism. Although exact attendance figures are unknown, precedent suggests at least several hundred activists will gather outside Parliament on George W. Bush Street for the protest.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations near Albania's Parliament. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
