Edi Rama's intrigue between the US and the EU / Are American soldiers still protected in Albania?

At the height of the Trump administration's clash with the International Criminal Court, the Albanian government has quietly abrogated the agreement that protected American servicemen from extradition to The Hague. But an unusual maneuver with the publication of the law in the Official Gazette raises suspicions that Edi Rama is trying to please Brussels without angering Washington.

Alban Skënderaj cancels concert in Vlora: Reasons for protests and the

Renowned Albanian singer, Alban Skenderaj, has announced that the "Motiv" concert, scheduled to be held during August in Vlora, will not take place as planned.

The artist himself announced the news through a post on social media, where he revealed that after months of intensive preparations with a large production team, he was forced to make the decision to cancel or postpone the concert to a date yet to be determined.

According to Skenderaj, this decision comes as a result of the situation created in the country, related to the ongoing protests against investments in Vlora.

"'MOTIV' was planned to come as a giant production in Vlora this August. However, due to the situation created in the country, I have decided that the planned concert in Vlora will not take place or will be postponed to an unspecified date," the singer wrote.

In his reaction, Skenderaj emphasized that music for him is not just a profession, but a mission to inspire people, to give hope, and to unite those whom life has separated.

He did not give a new date for the concert, but hinted that he hopes to bring the "Motiv" project to the public as soon as the right conditions are created.

The "Motiv" concert was expected to be one of the biggest musical events of the summer in Vlora, with a large-scale production and a significant number of fans who had expressed interest in attending. /LAPSI.al

Andi Bushati: An autumn with an end-of-regime atmosphere

Whether it's his own party's own dice that throw him a punch, whether it's citizens who boo him in the street, whether it's the brave SPAK prosecutors who have gotten close to his throat, or international journalists who compare him to the godfather, one thing shows that Edi Rama's political curve has reached its end. His propaganda narrative is already over.

Blendi Kajsiu: Prime Minister's misunderstanding on anti-corruption

The fact that no institution of our public administration noticed that millions of euros were invested in phantom incinerators, that AKSHI was controlled by an ordinary criminal, that the directors of the Municipality of Tirana awarded tenders to themselves, or that the police director and the director of SHISH worked for Gysi, shows that we do not have a public administration and a state.
