A car belonging to the wife of lawyer Idajet Beqiri exploded near the Civil Court in Tirana, causing material damage. This incident follows a previous car bombing in Gjirokastër and highlights ongoing security concerns.
In the judiciary, the Special Anti-Corruption Court (GJKKO) is reportedly paralyzed by a judicial boycott, risking detention deadlines and defendants' rights. Meanwhile, two police officers in Tirana were arrested on allegations of extortion and taking bribes from citizens.
On a positive note, Albania has concluded Chapter 20 of its EU accession negotiations, a step forward in its European integration path. Prime Minister Edi Rama attended the 10th Intergovernmental Conference in Luxembourg for this milestone.
