Rama posted footage on social media showing the removal of unlicensed buildings, saying the operations would continue without pause.

The government has stepped up oversight of territorial development, tightened enforcement of construction permits and increased penalties for builders who breach regulations.

Authorities say citizens have reported 16,367 cases of violations through the “My Public Space” platform, with 12,534 cases resolved and 3,833 still under review.

Officials say clearing public areas is essential to improving public services and ensuring businesses comply with national standards across Albania, including but not limited to tourist zones.

The government head said a National Regulation is being drafted to set out the areas businesses will be legally allowed to use. The clearance operations, launched in July, are intended as a permanent, systematic crackdown rather than a temporary campaign.

The government head shared social media images of the dismantling of another metal structure that had occupied public space, emphasizing that the initiative is part of a broader, long-term program rather than a one-off action.

“Some delay voluntary dismantling thinking the operation will end, but this is a four-year program. It continues with the rehabilitation and transformation of public spaces into quality community coexistence areas,” Rama said.

The Premier warned businesses that failure to remove structures voluntarily will result not only in their removal but also in fines.

Urban Renaissance 2.0 is seen as part of a wider effort to improve public services and business functionality in line with national hospitality and service standards, both in tourist zones and across the country.

The campaign, launched in early July, is expected to remain a priority for central and local authorities in enhancing community living standards.
