International protests

Several solidarity rallies were announced and later held among Albanian diaspora communities in Europe, North America and Australia, while additional protest calls circulated for other cities.[194] Early international rallies and protest calls included Berlin, Munich and Stockholm on 5 June; London, Milan, Florence, New York City, Washington, D.C. and Toronto on 6 June; Brussels, Bologna and Skopje on 7 June; and a further New York gathering announced for 15 June.[18][195]

On 7 June, diaspora protests were also held in several cities including London, Brussels, Hamburg, Milan, New York City and Bern, with participants opposing the government's handling of the planned developments and calling for greater transparency and accountability.[11] Further simultaneous rallies were planned for 14 June in 17 cities across Europe and North America, including New York City, Chicago, Boston, Michigan, Toronto, Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Stuttgart, Athens, Genoa, Faenza, The Hague, Strasbourg, Vienna, Oslo, and Odense.[8][196]

A civic movement involving a coordinated road trip of Albanian expatriates travelling from London to Tirana to join national protests occurred in June.[197] Although the journey lasted a few days, the goal was to be in Tirana for the organized protests on 20 June. The convoy began voyaging with 45 automobiles from London. Later on, more automobiles joined the motorcade from Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary and other European countries, and then entered Albanian territory near Shkodër.[198] After arriving in Tirana, the motorcade arrived in Laprakë, and then its participants marched on foot to the Prime Minister's office.
