Protest in Belsh Against Merger with Elbasan, Residents Collect Signatures

Residents of Belsh today joined the wave of opposition to the Territorial Reform, which aims to merge their municipality with Elbasan. Holding signs bearing the message, “The Renaissance wanted Belsh as a capital; you are assimilating it,” they demanded a clear position from the municipal authorities. Residents also called for a united front beyond party divisions to preserve their area’s heritage and distinctive characteristics.

Meanwhile, the collection of signatures for a petition against the administrative reform has also begun in Belsh.
