What we know so far
Birdlife International, WWF and a group of Albanian NGOs submitted a joint letter to the European Commission requesting that Albania's EU accession chapter progress be formally conditioned on measurable improvements to environmental enforcement in protected coastal and wetland areas. The letter cited the Pishe Poro-Narte and Sazan Island cases as key evidence of systemic permit and oversight failures.
