10月15日：丹麦俱乐部FC米德尤兰德表示，原定于周四在阿尔巴尼亚球队KF埃格纳蒂亚进行的欧足联欧会杯首回合比赛，已从地拉那的国家体育场（Arena Kombetare）改为埃尔巴桑体育场（Elbasan Arena）。欧足联在与当地当局讨论后，因首都的示威活动而更改了场地。埃尔巴桑位于地拉那东南方向，车程约40分钟。
Oct 15 : FC Midtjylland's UEFA Conference League opener at Albanian side KF Egnatia on Thursday has been moved from the Arena Kombetare in Tirana to the Elbasan Arena, the Danish club said. UEFA changed the venue following discussions with local authorities in response to demonstrations in the capital. Elbasan is about a 40-minute drive southeast of Tirana.
学生组织者称，抗议是针对大学条件、教育费用、缺乏财政支持以及毕业后就业前景不足。
Student organisers said the protests were over conditions at universities, higher education costs, a lack of both financial support and employment prospects after graduation.
此次动荡发生在数月来大多和平的示威之后，这些示威最初是因美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳支持的在阿尔巴尼亚南部海岸建设豪华度假村的计划而引发的，该项目已面临法律挑战。
The unrest follows months of mostly peaceful demonstrations sparked by plans to build a luxury resort on Albania's southern coast backed by US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, a project that has faced legal challenges.
