A Ukrainian citizen, who has been living in Albania for four years, has reported an incident that occurred in the building she rents in Vlora, a conflict that she says started because of her small dog and then degenerated into swearing, physical confrontations and allegations of violence against the animal.
According to the complainant, the incident occurred about two months ago at the entrance of the building where she lives with her husband.
She claims that the conflict began after an Albanian woman refused to board the elevator due to the presence of her dog, claiming that she was allergic to dogs.
In the video filmed by the Ukrainian citizen herself, a verbal argument can be heard between the Ukrainian couple and an Albanian couple.
In the video, the Albanian woman is heard stating that dogs are not allowed in shared spaces and that she is allergic to them, while the debate then escalates with harsh tones from both sides.
According to the complainant, after the initial argument, the Albanian couple knocked on her apartment door and the conflict continued in the corridor of the building.
In the video, mutual insults and accusations can be heard in different languages, while at some points the situation seems to escalate into physical contact between the people involved.
The Ukrainian woman also claims that during the conflict the Albanian man kicked her small dog, a moment that she says is visible in the video.
She also claims that during the collision, an attempt was made to take away her phone, which she was using to film the incident.
