โ€”๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น/๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Italian security activity increases near Albania's Port of Durrรซs

โžก๏ธ Italian security activity has been observed around Albania's Port of Durrรซs, with reports showing a convoy of Italian Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza vehicles transiting the port on 21 July under police traffic coordination. Vehicles bearing KFOR markings were also seen entering the port area.

โžก๏ธ In recent weeks, repeated flights by a Guardia di Finanza ATR-72 maritime surveillance aircraft, occasionally supported by AW139 helicopters flying at low altitude over Albania, have also been recorded.

โžก๏ธ No official link between these activities has been confirmed. Plausible explanations include logistical movements supporting NATO's KFOR mission in Kosovo through the Port of Durrรซs, or intensified Italy-Albania cooperation targeting smuggling networks and other cross-border crime.

At present, there is no evidence of an extraordinary deployment.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ #Albania: Protests against Jared Kushner's proposed multi-billion-dollar resort on Albania's Adriatic coast entered their second month, with demonstrators once again clashing with police outside parliament in Tirana.

Police used tear gas and water cannons after protesters threw eggs and bottles.

The demonstrations have expanded beyond opposition to the resort to include broader criticism of the Albanian government and allegations of corruption.

#BREAKING | ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” Greek authorities foiled an alleged Hamas-linked plot to attack an Israeli cruise ship scheduled to arrive in Crete.

A 37-year-old Palestinian man from Gaza was arrested in early June on the island of Crete. Investigators say he acquired chemical agents that could be used to manufacture explosives and had received bomb-making training abroad. He faces terrorism-related charges; the probe remains ongoing.

Authorities state the plot, if carried out, could have caused a mass-casualty attack against civilians on the vessel.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด #Romania: A Romanian Air Force F-16 shot down a drone that entered the country's airspace earlier today, marking the first time Romania has destroyed an aerial target over its own territory since adopting legislation allowing such interceptions.

The drone was intercepted with an air-to-air missile over an uninhabited area near Padina, Buzฤƒu County, after two Romanian F-16s and two Italian Eurofighter Typhoons were scrambled in response.

#BREAKING | ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด ๐Ÿงญ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ โ€” Romanian President NicuลŸor Dan:

A new drone was shot down this morning, at 10:13 a.m., by an F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, over Romania's territorial waters, in the Sulinaโ€“Chilia area.

I congratulate the Romanian pilots and the ground teams for the professionalism, courage, and efficiency with which they carry out their missions. Through their actions, they contribute to the defense of the national territory and the safety of Romanian citizens.

According to the investigation conducted by the General Prosecutor's Office, the drone shot down on Friday morning is of the Shahed type, used by the Russian Federation in the war of aggression against Ukraine.
Investigations into the drones shot down yesterday and today are ongoing.

Romania's diplomatic protest against the Russian Federation will be based on these investigations.

It is inadmissible and intolerable for the Russian Federation to continue violating Romania's airspace, which is, at the same time, NATO airspace and European Union airspace. Such actions are unacceptable, and we treat them with the utmost seriousness, alongside our allies.

โ€”I'm thinking about launching a Balkan Spectator magazine

It would be edited in physical paper and sent by regular mail to each subscriber. The topics covered will be similar to those you can find in magazines such as The Economist and similar ones, but focused on the Balkans.

Its price would be 20โ‚ฌ, shipping costs included.

Please, be honest, how many of you would subscribe to it? I would need 40 people for it to be profitable.

I want to thank all those who are willing to invest 20โ‚ฌ in the channel, because buying the magazine is a way to help the project grow.

This channel has almost 5k subscribers. The fact that approximately 20 people are ready to pay a price for a Balkan Spectator product makes me really proud of what we're creating.

Balkan Spectator is a known channel in the Telegram news niche. It is respected by the vast majority of other channel's admins and has a really high engagement rate for its size. The Balkan Spectator brand is not an idea, it's a reality.

With that being said, to those who said not willing to put money on the table yet: it's ok. We live in crazy times and the fact that you want to save this money is totally understandable.

To all friends of Balkan Spectator: I'm exploring all ways to offer an affordable, high quality product to you all.

Publishing a print magazine is my dream. However, Iโ€™m aware that itโ€™s not the only optionโ€”and, even worse, it might not even be the best one. Again, thatโ€™s okay.

If I need to edit the magazine in PDF and share it with those who subscribed, as a friend of the channel already proposed, I'll do it. And of course, I'll offer more affordable alternatives to those who might want to invest in high quality content at a cheaper price.

In any case, no one will be left behind.

Thank you!
