In a statement to the media, the Kosovo-based Council for Defense of Human Rights and Freedoms (CDHRF) expressed concern that the recent violent methods used by the opposition parties could provoke violent reactions that would be detrimental to all sides. The CDHRF therefore calls for restraint and denouncement of violent actions “starting from the use of tear gas and, in particular, the use of Molotov cocktail.” “These attacks should not go unpunished no matter who is behind them,” the human rights organization said. The right to peaceful protest is a fundamental human right, claims the CDHRF, but should be expressed in accordance to applicable legislation which also implies getting prior license from the police. “Kosovo is currently at a crossroad with only two directions: towards democracy or towards anarchy,” CDHRF stressed.
