The United States Embassy condemned the acts of violence during today’s protest at the Tirana Municipality. 

In a short statement for the media at the end of protest, the US Embassy said that the right to peacefully assemble, protest and demand action against corruption are all vital in any democracy, but the violence undertaken by the organizers has no place. 

"Responsible political actors should reject all forms of violence. We salute law enforcement officials for their professionalism during today’s protest," ended the statement.
