President Ilir Meta full Facebook status:

I strongly support an international investigation into the unconstitutional, illegal, and anti-European destruction of the National Theater.

I am ready to cooperate with the Alliance for the Protection of Theater, as well as with any European and international institution for Culture.

Europe and the democratic world are even more clear about what is happening here.

Do not respond to violence with violence, but with confidence in Democracy and its Triumph over Talibanism and oligarchy..
