Dear citizens,

Albania is our common homeland. It is the home of all of us.

I have followed the protests, the demands, but also with regret the acts of violence of the last two days.

The voice of every citizen deserves to be heard, especially the voice of the young, who represent the hope and future of our country. This cannot and should not be disputed by anyone.

But violence is not and can never be the solution. It harms society, undermines the security of citizens, and polarizes democratic coexistence.

In these moments, our country needs calm, responsibility and dialogue. We need differences not to divide us, but to encourage us to listen to each other and find solutions in the interest of the citizens and Albania.

I call on everyone to choose prudence, avoid violence, and not allow tensions to undermine the constitutional order and stability of the country. I encourage the law enforcement agencies in their extremely delicate task and wish a speedy recovery to any injured police officers or protesters.

With the responsibility and duties that the Constitution gives me, I remain open to anyone who wants to have a space for dialogue and understanding, just as I call on the actors involved to commit to dialogue and cooperation, for the good of youth, for the good of Albania.
