Three other people are facing criminal proceedings, while two more have been declared wanted.

Investigators, working with the prosecution, are continuing inquiries to establish the full circumstances of the alleged offences, identify other people involved and bring them before the law.

The case has been referred to the prosecution on charges including attempted murder of a police officer, organizing or participating in unlawful gatherings, disturbing public order, resisting police, violating regulations on explosive and flammable substances, obstructing traffic, arson and the unlawful possession or manufacture of explosive weapons and ammunition.

The register will be managed by the General Directorate of State Police and will contain information on individuals for whom police reports submitted to prosecutors document specific acts of violence.

It will include registration details, information on the source of the data, procedural records and updates, as well as identity information obtained through the national civil registry. References to cases, incident dates and any existing restrictive measures will be retrieved from police databases and the ADAM system.

Border and Migration Police will have limited access to the register for border checks and enforcement of legally imposed restrictions. Information will be exchanged through authorised electronic systems, without granting police general access to prosecution records.

Under the decision, border police may administratively refuse an individual permission to leave Albania if an individual check reveals specific information linking them to violent acts during public gatherings or demonstrations, even if no court-ordered measure prohibiting foreign travel has been imposed.

If departure is not refused, border authorities will notify the authorities of the destination country that the individual has been referred to prosecutors in connection with the offences covered by the decision.

The State Police will also notify private individuals and legal entities operating accommodation facilities about people for whom there is specific information indicating involvement in such acts and whose cases have been referred to prosecutors.

The need to retain data on individuals referred to prosecutors must be reviewed within 30 days of registration. Data must be deleted if the competent prosecution authority decides not to initiate criminal proceedings or dismisses the case.

The government said the processing and exchange of information would comply with personal data protection legislation, ensuring confidentiality, restricted access, traceability and proportionality.

The Interior Ministry, the State Police and the National Agency for Information Society have been tasked with implementing the decision.

Speaking at a meeting with executives from the banking sector, Rama also said the country had made economic progress compared with other countries in the region, arguing that growth depended on hard work and cooperation rather than violence.

“An economy grows through work, not stones. It grows through cooperation, not by turning our backs on one another,” he said.

The prime minister said the government would step up efforts to identify those responsible for violence during protests and prevent further incidents.

He said the government would invest in technology to identify people who incite or commit violence, including those who attempt to conceal their identities by covering their faces.

“By investing rapidly in technology, we will identify those wearing hoods, even if they keep them on or cover their entire faces, because we will track them every step of the way using technology,” Rama said.

“This is not just talk, but a message to everyone still involved in violence: abandon this path before it is too late,” he added.

Rama said the government would also cooperate with EU member states to explore measures restricting access to their territories for people involved in violent acts.

“We will intervene on trains and across all modes of transport. Naturally, we will cooperate with EU countries, and we have already begun work to prevent people involved in acts of violence from accessing those countries,” he said.

“It is absolutely essential to understand that violence has no place in this country and will not be allowed to take root,” Rama added.

He reiterated that work and cooperation, rather than violence, were essential to Albania’s economic development.
