The territorial reform has successfully passed parliament, largely due to the votes of the Socialist Party. This marks a significant development in a long-standing political debate over the country's administrative divisions.
In other key developments, discussions are underway in Brussels concerning the potential closure of Chapter 20 in Albania's European Union accession negotiations. Domestically, new details of the government's draft Penal Procedure Code have surfaced, revealing provisions for prior media censorship and raising concerns about its potential to undermine the Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK).
Additionally, political parties are currently assessing a proposal from the Central Election Commission to introduce electronic voting for the 2027 elections. Meanwhile, citizens continue to gather for protests against Prime Minister Edi Rama, marking the 129th such demonstration, and the national football team is set to play San Marino in a Nations League match in Tirana today.
