November 10, 20:17
Police announced that Kevi Muçllari has been arrested for the criminal offense of “Assault due to duty”, after a physical confrontation with councilor Shyti during a meeting of the Municipal Council in the presence of citizens. The incident occurred after numerous debates over the approval of a decision that allows the leasing of 34,660 hectares of land in Çërrava.
The decision on the land was approved with 20 votes in favor, but has caused dissatisfaction in the local community, who consider the measure unfair and one-sided. The physical fight, which became public during the meeting, fueled tension and reactions from residents, who demanded justice and respect for the public interest.
