TIRANA, Oct. 18 /ATA/ – The Muslim Community of Albania has called for social peace, restraint and dialogue among all sides in a statement addressing recent developments in the country and the ongoing protests.

“Preserving peace, respecting others and avoiding all forms of violence are a shared responsibility,” the statement said.
The community urged institutions to take citizens’ demands seriously and called on all sides to show restraint, maturity and responsibility, avoiding inflammatory language, hatred and actions that could deepen divisions.
