Clashes between protesters and police near the Pyramid as forces are reinforced near the Prime Minister’s Office

The protest near the Pyramid in Tirana was accompanied by tensions after protesters rushed toward police officers. A few minutes earlier, police had fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Following the protesters’ resistance and the throwing of stones and other hard objects, the “Eagle” and Rapid Intervention forces withdrew, attempting to protect themselves from the objects being thrown at them.

The developments at the protest are also being monitored from the terrace of the Prime Minister’s Office. Officers equipped with binoculars have been stationed there, along with a high-resolution camera filming the events.

Meanwhile, the number of police forces in the area around the Prime Minister’s Office has increased, with more officers on standby to manage the situation.
