The EU condemns the violence in the student protests in Albania and calls for restraint from the demonstrators.

The European Union issued a formal condemnation on Thursday regarding violent clashes that occurred in Tirana, Albania, during student-led demonstrations. The protests were organized to oppose government-imposed cuts to the education sector, resulting in dozens of injuries among participants and potentially others involved in the unrest.

In response to the escalation, European officials have called for restraint from all demonstrators. The incident highlights ongoing tensions in Albania regarding educational policy and the government's fiscal decisions, drawing international attention to the stability of the capital during these public gatherings.
