Opponents of the plans for fourteen Hydro Power Projects (HPPs) along the Valbona River, which runs through Valbona Valley National Park in the Albanian Alps have reported facing constant pressure due to their opposition. Top Channel TV Host Endrit Habilaj reported that one of his crew members was physically assaulted by members of the security company, Brecani, employed by Gener 2, while filming the construction process after a stop work order was issued. The police were called to intervene; however, Habilaj stated that the local police did not come until the police in Tirana were called. One of the assailants was arrested at the time, but was reportedly released a short while later. The incident was captured on camera, and the footage is available online (link below). A criminal complaint was filed by the journalists with the prosecution - but there were no further developments with regard to the criminal complaint as of July 2019.
