Scenes from the protest

The Albanian student protest, which lasted about two hours and took the form of a peaceful rally, has ended.

The protest was accompanied by patriotic songs and calls for student rights, and was also attended by students from Albania and Kosovo.

During the protest, those present sang the national anthem and expressed mobilizing messages. At some points, chants were heard, including "KLA, KLA."

In his speech, protest organizer Mevlan Ademi emphasized that "we are for equality and respect," and together we will demand our rights.

"This voice does not stop, it passes from generation to generation. Rise up, Albanian, for our language ," he said.

Another student called on the Minister of Justice to resign, stressing that "Albanians will not tire of demanding their rights."

They also appealed to Prime Minister Mickovski to show that the solution comes through dialogue, and this issue should unite all parties. " The more the students' voices are ignored, the more the revolt will grow. We rebel when our rights are denied," the students say.

During the rally, three students were escorted by authorities, for reasons that have not yet been made public.

The organizer of the protest, Mevlan Ademi, stated that the main demand of the protesters remains knowledge of the Albanian language in the Jurisprudence exam.

He emphasized that students will continue to seek institutional solutions through dialogue, describing this issue as a fundamental right for linguistic and academic equality.
