The barbed wire previously attached to the perimeter fencing at the Zvërnec construction site was removed on Sunday. This action followed a volatile protest that occurred the previous day, during which citizens voiced concerns regarding property ownership rights associated with the ongoing construction work. In response to the preceding violent incident, Minister of Interior Besfort Lamallari issued statements addressing the events.
Lamallari criticized the conduct of the private security personnel guarding the site, stating that their behavior was unacceptable. Furthermore, he criticized the perceived indifference displayed by regular police officers who were present at the scene. Following the protest, a private guard involved in a physical confrontation with a demonstrator in Zvërnec was subsequently arrested.
The individual, identified as Gerald Biba, faces charges of “Illegal Deprivation of Liberty.”
The sequence of events—from the initial protest concerning the construction boundaries to the subsequent security measures and official inquiries—has drawn significant public attention. The removal of the barbed wire marks a physical conclusion to the immediate tension surrounding the site. Authorities have focused their response on accountability, resulting in the arrest of the guard and the Minister’s formal critique of security protocols observed during the day’s disruptive incident.
