Tirana, December 6, 2022

The Council of Albanian Ambassadors condemns with the greatest severity the violent and brazen act against the leader of the opposition, Mr. Sali Berisha, former President and former Prime Minister of the country, during today’s opposition protest.

The council calls on the state and government institutions, including the President of the Republic, not only to condemn the act and to seek its clarification, but first to condemn the language of hatred that high exponents of the government regularly use against the opposition, and especially the language used in the days preceding this ugly act, against the exercise of a legitimate and constitutional right, as was the popular protest of December 6.

The council also calls on the diplomatic corps to rise to the heights of the Albanian people’s expectations and to condemn this language that incites hatred and division in the country.
