The gathering will begin in Skanderbeg Square, after which protesters are expected to march toward the Prime Minister’s Office, where they will deliver speeches. The organizers have stated that the protests will continue until this demand is met, calling on citizens to participate in large numbers in what is described as the 28th consecutive protest.
