TIRANA, May 12 /ATA/ – The OSCE Presence in Albania reacted again to a protest staged by the Albanian opposition on Saturday.
OSCE Presence said it has been following the Saturday evening’s protest minute after minute.
“We reiterate our firm stand that violence is not the answer. Also, heavy response to violence will not help,” OSCE said.
In an earlier statement the OSCE Presence said: “The organizers of this evening’s protest must bear the political responsibility for the criminal violence by some of their followers.”
“Our thoughts are with the families of the injured. The OSCE will continue to encourage effective opposition and dialogue in Albania. But it condemns totally those who try to use violence as a political short-cut; they will fail,” the OSCE Presence added.
