The State Police declared this Monday that the protest held by the
opposition, which blocked national roads in Tirana and other cities, was
illegal since it had no permission from law-enforcing agencies.

“The claim of the illegal organizers, who said they only need to notify the police before the meeting, even if they put the citizens’ lives in danger, or even if they block the circulation of people and goods, is completely unacceptable”, the declaration says.

The state police underlines that despite the resistance of the illegal organizers, they were able to deviate the traffic through secondary roads.

“Today’s protest has violated law 8773 for meetings, although they were notified by the respective authorities”, police says.

“Police is working to take the material to the respective prosecutions”, the announcement continues.
