US Ambassador in Tirana, Yuri Kim reacted immediately after the regret of MP candidate Xhelal Mziu, after a statement made by him yesterday that anyone suspected of buying votes would face the same fate as happened to Pjeter Xhuvani who was killed in Elbasan.
Good to see clear apology out of Dibra. The violence inflicted on Elbasan this week cannot be justified, must not be repeated. The days of armed groups wearing the patch of any political party & “patrolling” the streets belong in the past – ugly past that all of us must reject.?
