Tirana Police have criminally prosecuted 11 people, suspected of involvement in actions that violated public order and peace, during the rallies held on June 22 and 23, 2026 in the capital.

The police say they have referred the case to the Tirana Prosecutor's Office for the criminal offense of "Obstructing the movement of means of transport".

The suspects in custody are: DG, 50 years old; ID, 55 years old; EE, 32 years old; EB, 29 years old; VD, 30 years old; EZ, 26 years old; Xh. P., 27 years old; BK, 36 years old; DB, 32 years old; Sh. B., 34 years old and IM, 28 years old.

According to the police, the above-mentioned individuals have directed and held the rally in areas different from those officially announced, specifically at the intersection of "Urani Pano" street with "Zogu I" boulevard, at the intersection of "Ibrahim Rugova" street with Kavaja Street, as well as at the intersection of "Ibrahim Rugova" street with "Gjergj Fishta" boulevard.

As a result of the congestion on these high-traffic axes, the free movement of vehicles and citizens has been impeded, police say.
