Albania is considering a new territorial map that could see fifteen municipalities dissolved. The government argues the reform aims for greater efficiency and consolidation of services. However, communities facing potential municipal status loss express concerns about reduced access to services and weakened local representation. Critics fear this move will further marginalize already struggling peripheral areas of Albania. The current review follows a 2014 redrawing of local government boundaries, which initially aimed to strengthen municipalities. This latest proposal raises questions about the balance between national efficiency and local needs within Albania. The potential impact on citizens remains a central concern as the debate continues.
