Bombs in Gjirokastër and Fier

University students of “Eqrem Çabej” abandon the lecture halls because of terror. No improvement since RENEA’s arrival in the south In yesterday’s statement, the Headquarters for the Deep Reform of the administration says that on Saturday morning, in front of the famous tower of Gjirokastër, a remotely controlled grenade was found, which fortunately did not explode. The deadly device, deliberately left in front of a private office, was spotted and detonated by other means. According to reports, yesterday morning at 9:30 in the “11 January” neighborhood of the city of Fier, an explosive device went off. After the shock, the wall of a goods warehouse collapsed, while several homes and shops near the warehouse were damaged. Fortunately, no one was injured. The Reform Headquarters compares it with the situation in Kosovo, where anti-Albanian circles and circles that foster crime and terrorism plant mines and place explosives in populated areas to terrorize the people. But both in Kosovo and in Albania, such phenomena should decrease rather than increase. This is precisely where the question arises of where police reform is heading. In light of yesterday’s and these days’ air transport with the MAPE mission aircraft, these reports perhaps are not merely coincidental, but against the backdrop that has been created in the south—of insecurity and lack of order—they do not sound at all unexpected.
