'F*CK YOU, ZELENSKY!': Furious Protests Erupt in Tirana After Ukraine Rejects Kosovo Recognition
Aug 10, 2026
Protesters marched through Albania's capital Tirana on Sunday, chanting against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Kyiv reaffirmed its position of not recognising Kosovo's independence during his August 7-8 visit to Serbia. Demonstrators marched toward the Serbian and Ukrainian embassies, waving Albanian flags and carrying banners. The dispute also spilled into Kosovo, where authorities removed a large pro-Ukraine banner in Pristina that had been displayed for several years. Kosovo strongly supports Ukraine in its war with Russia, while Serbia continues to regard Kosovo as part of its territory.
