The National Construction Inspectorate (IKMT) demolished an unauthorized three-story structure with reinforced concrete and brick walls.

Rama stressed that all those continuing this “low-level game” of illegal building in public spaces -whether in cities, coastal areas, or mountains- must stop immediately.

“It’s pointless; you will only waste money and time. Following the government’s latest decisions, you will face severe consequences,” the Prime Minister warned.

Clearing public spaces of illegal constructions precedes the implementation of the “Urban Renaissance 2.0” program, which aims to restore legality on the ground and foster community development.

Designed as a systematic, long-term intervention rather than a temporary campaign, this initiative began in July and continues to be a priority nationwide.

The new Criminal Code also includes harsher penalties for illegal construction offenses.

Additionally, a new National Regulation will define by law the public spaces available for business use, providing clearer guidelines for private entities.

Citizens can report abusive cases through the dedicated portal “HapesiraImePublike.gov.al”, which so far has received 12,611 reports; 9,201 cases have been resolved, while 3,410 remain under review.
