Albania: Civil society groups plan to protest in central Tirana from 18:00 July 18
Civil society groups plan to protest at the Parliament building in Tirana, Albania, from 18:00 July 18; increased security likely.
Civil society groups plan to protest at the Parliament building in central Tirana from 18:00 July 18. Groups are demanding the right for Albanian expatriates to vote in the 2025 election; organizers claim that around 1.6 million Albanians living outside the country cannot participate currently. A few hundred people could join the action.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the event. Localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in central Tirana through the evening of July 18. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
