"The organizers of today's protest must bear the political responsibility for the criminal violence exercised by some of their followers. Our thoughts are with the families of the wounded. The OSCE will continue to promote effective opposition and dialogue in Albania.

"The OSCE Presence has followed today's protest minute after minute. We repeat our unwavering stance that violence is not the answer. Also, the severe reaction to violence does not help," the second statement said.
