Today we held an informative meeting on the protest situation with the OSCE representation in Tirana.
We placed emphasis on the arrests and barbaric violence carried out by the so-called state police.
We asked the OSCE to reflect in its report the abuses and demands for legal changes to the electoral law and the abrogation of the pseudo territorial reform.
