Zharrez

Albania

Zharrëz is a village and former municipality located in the Fier County of southwestern Albania. Following the 2015 local government reform, it became a subdivision of the municipality of Patos.

The population of Zharrëz was recorded at 5,236 during the 2011 census. The area gained notable attention in February 2017 when residents initiated a hunger strike to demand payment for houses that had been destroyed. The protest was eventually concluded by Niko Peleshi.
