According to the official announcement, from 07:00 until 24:00, traffic will be prohibited on the secondary axis of the Durrës–Tirana highway, from the “Eiffel” area to “Casa Italia.” This segment will operate only as an exit route for businesses operating in the area.

During the same time interval, the exit lane of the Durrës–Tirana highway at the “Casa Italia” roundabout will also be blocked.

Meanwhile, from 12:00 until 24:00, traffic will not be allowed on the “Casa Italia” – “Pavarësia” Street – “Sokrat Miho” Street segment, as well as on the “Sokrat Miho” Street – “Kasem Shima” Street – “7 Nëntori” Street segment, which will operate only as an exit route.

Police said that on the road from Ura e Institutit to “Casa Italia” there may also be partial traffic blockages, depending on the flow of participants, with the aim of managing traffic and ensuring the event is held safely.

During the restriction hours, only emergency vehicles and State Police vehicles will have access to the blocked areas.

Tirana Police are calling on citizens to show understanding, plan their movements in advance, use alternative routes, and follow the instructions of police officers deployed on the ground.

He says this course of action is costing Belgrade politically, as the blockage of the integration process into the European Union shows that member states are viewing Serbian policy with greater hesitation.

According to Kuçi, efforts to block Kosovo could produce the opposite effect for Serbia, pushing it toward political isolation and slowing its path toward the EU.

Serbia organizes a diplomatic lunch against Kosovo, but from Brussels eight countries block European integration for Belgrade

Belgrade is trying to keep alive its policy of non-recognitions toward Kosovo. Prime Minister Macut’s lunch with representatives of countries that have not recognized Kosovo is not merely a protocol move. It represents a continuation of Serbia’s strategy of using non-recognition as a diplomatic tool against Kosovo’s statehood.

However, for Serbia this approach does not come without political consequences.

In the same period when Belgrade is trying to harm Kosovo on the international stage, Serbia is encountering a blockage in the European integration process. The fact that the recommendation to open new chapters with the EU did not pass shows that some member states are no longer inclined to treat Serbia as a candidate country that can be rewarded solely for rhetoric.

This is also where the main contradiction of Serbian policy lies: it seeks benefits from the EU, but does not act like a state that has made the European choice; it speaks of dialogue, but invests in obstruction; in its statements it calls for regional stability, while in practice it uses Kosovo as an instrument of internal and international pressure.

For this reason, what Serbia presents as a diplomatic achievement against Kosovo is in fact turning into a political burden for itself.

Serbian citizens aiming for a European future should understand this clearly: Vučić’s policy is not strengthening Serbia, but keeping it blocked. Diplomatic photo opportunities, meetings with non-recognizing states, and displays of military force may serve domestic propaganda, but they do not bring development, integration, or a European perspective.

In the end, the damage Belgrade is trying to inflict on Kosovo may return to Serbia in the form of political isolation.

And, it seems, this is being read ever more clearly in Brussels.

According to the announcement, queues at the exit from Kosovo reached up to 3.5 kilometers, while the cause of the delays is the procedure for registering citizens’ entry by the Albanian authorities.

“We inform you that today, from 04:00 onward, long queues of approximately 3.5 kilometers have been created at the exit from the Republic of Kosovo, as the Albanian authorities are registering the entry of citizens,” the Border Management Center said.

So far, there has been no official reaction from the Albanian authorities regarding the reasons for these checks or delays. Meanwhile, the waits at the border have affected citizens traveling to Albania, both to take part in the protest and for other reasons.
