‼️🇦🇱We are closely monitoring the recent journalist dismissals in AL. While restructuring is normal, it must respect fair procedures and workers’ rights. We urge media outlets to ensure transparency, proper notice, and severance pay. If you’ve faced unfair treatment, reach out⬇️

Dënojmë me forcë kërcënimet me vdekje të bëra ndaj gazetares së portalit Standard, Kristina Perković, të cilat përfaqësojnë një tjetër sulm serioz ndaj gazetarëve në Mal të Zi.

We express concern over the incident involving the Syri TV crew during the Democratic Party protest in Tirana on May 8, 2026. Journalists were hit by police water cannons while reporting live. Authorities must ensure media safety and protect press freedom during protests.

‼️SJN thekson se kufizimet ndaj përmbajtjes mediatike duhet të jenë të nevojshme, proporcionale dhe masë përjashtimore, duke garantuar standardet e lirisë së shprehjes dhe garancitë procedurale. https://t.co/gexCEIwXiP

[Safe Journalists Albania @AlbJournalists]

‼️SJN po monitoron një vendim gjyqësor në Shqipëri që kërkon heqjen dhe bllokimin e përmbajtjes mediatike para shqyrtimit të çështjes në themel, në kuadër të një padie civile ndaj 10 mediave online.

PM @ediramaal, RSF évalue la liberté de la presse, pas la communication du gouvernement. La 83e place de l’#Albanie (-3) dans le #RSFIndex2026 reflète des attaques politiques, des abus des forces de l’ordre & la faible transparence des médias. Mais il y a une voie à suivre��: https://t.co/8UACzrEMPF

[RSF @RSF_inter]

PM @ediramaal, we measure media freedom, not government communication. #Albania's 83rd rank (-3) in the 2026 #Index reflects political attacks, abuse of law-enforcement, low media transparency & threats to journalists. There is a way forward, have a look:

🚨On 2 May 2026, Sali Berisha labeled News24, BalkanWeb,& Panorama as “mafia of free speech,” accusing them of taking orders from the PM’s office.
@WBjournalists warn that such rhetoric goes beyond legitimate criticism & increases pressure on journalists.

Findings for 🇦🇱 from the Journalists’ Safety Index 2025, presented by @BlerjanaB at the @WBjournalists conference, highlight ongoing systemic and often invisible pressures on journalists despite fewer physical attacks. Women journalists face ongoing risks.

Albania ranks 83rd in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index by @RSF_inter, reflecting uneven progress & persistent structural challenges in the media environment. Political & economic pressures, alongside inconsistent application of legal safeguards, continue to affect media freedom
