The Cabinet initiated the move last year after a teen stabbed another teenager to death in November after a quarrel that started on TikTok.
TikTok did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the government’s decision.
When Prime Minister Edi Rama said in December they were aiming at closing the social media platform, TikTok asked for “urgent clarity from the Albanian government” on the case of the stabbed teenager.
On Thursday Rama said they were in a “positive dialogue with the company,” and that TikTok would visit the country soon to offer “a series of measures on increasing the security for children.”
