A groundbreaking Albanian-Swiss expedition has unveiled the 'Lin 3' archaeological site in Pogradec as the largest pile-dwelling settlement in the Balkans and the oldest in Europe, dating back 8,000 years. Recent underwater discoveries, including unique black pottery and defensive palisades, are set to significantly alter historical understanding of the region.
In political news, Prime Minister Edi Rama, the Chairman of the Socialist Party of Albania, has introduced a new direct communication platform titled 'Talk with the Prime Minister.' This initiative comes as a reiteration of his invitation for dialogue, expecting protesters to engage in an online discussion.
Meanwhile, the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK) is actively pursuing cases against organized crime and corruption. It is bringing to trial an organization accused of trafficking over 60 tons of cocaine, leading to 16 arrests. Additionally, SPAK has registered criminal charges concerning the 'Albanian Files' report, launching an investigation into luxurious resorts and potential changes in laws regarding permits.
