U.S. Embassy: Protest leaders have responsibility to encourage calm

TIRANA, May 11 /ATA/ – The U.S. Embassy in Tirana condemned the violence taking place during an opposition’s protest in Tirana on Saturday.

“The opposition’s stated objective to make Albania’s democracy stronger runs counter to the violence currently being perpetrated by protesters. Violence is inherently undemocratic, and it must stop,” the U.S. Embassy said in a statement.

“Protest leaders have a responsibility to encourage calm. We call on all parties to show restraint,” the U.S. Embassy said.
