Full Statement by the EU Delegation:
“We express concern over the violent escalation of the protest in Tirana.
Freedom of assembly and freedom of expression are fundamental rights and core European values. They must be respected and exercised peacefully.
We are aware of allegations of excessive use of force by the police against protesters and journalists.
We expect police actions to be proportionate and to respect fundamental rights, and we also expect these incidents to be investigated as a matter of priority.
We encourage all parties to de-escalate tensions.
Constructive dialogue among all stakeholders involved is the only way forward.”
