The prime minister says he is ready to meet students “anywhere, at any time,” while warning that those responsible for violence and illegal acts could face criminal prosecution.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has renewed his call for dialogue with protesting students, saying he is willing to meet them at any location and at any time to discuss their grievances.

Rama reiterated his readiness to engage with students and others who oppose the government’s position, stressing that dialogue remains open to those willing to participate in discussions.

“Again and again, the invitation for dialogue, with anyone willing to engage in dialogue, remains open. I am ready, anywhere and at any time, to meet, exchange views and engage directly with those who have objections,” Rama said.

The prime minister also warned that individuals who, according to him, incited violence or took part in illegal acts would face criminal liability.

His remarks come amid student protests that have escalated in recent days, with demonstrators raising concerns over education-related issues and expressing broader dissatisfaction with the government.

The government’s renewed offer of dialogue comes as tensions continue, with the question of whether student representatives will accept the invitation remaining central to the next stage of the standoff.
