The right to peaceful protest must be fully respected. Any allegations of excessive, unlawful and disproportionate use of force must be promptly, thoroughly and independently investigated, with law enforcement acting at all times in a proportionate manner. Albania’s future lies in a democratic, prosperous, and European path, with an accountable government, the rule of law, fight of corruption and a future of opportunity at home. Any unlawful violence and attacks from all sides, especially against property and personal integrity, have no place in a democracy as the current tensions have to be addressed through dialogue, de-escalation and democratic engagement. The voice of young people must be heard and their right to peacefully protests protected.

At the #OSCEPA Autumn Meeting in Andorra, parliamentarians addressed key challenges to peace, security and democratic stability. The EPP & Likeminded Group met to discuss its political priorities and the future leadership of the Assembly. The Group officially endorsed @GudrunKugler as its candidate for OSCE PA President in 2027, backing her vision for a stronger, more united and effective Assembly. Congratulations!

🇧🇦 Strong results for the EPP family across Bosnia and Herzegovina, with our parties as key forces in shaping the country’s next chapter. Special congratulations to HDZ BiH Vice-President @FilipovicD_ on her historic election as Croat Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her historic success is a powerful inspiration for women in politics across the region. The clear mandate from the voters goes hand in hand with a strong responsibility to move the country forward on the European path. Looking forward to working together!

36 years ago, Germany reunited in freedom. A historic achievement for Germany, and a defining moment for a Europe becoming whole again. Every leader understood that German unity and European unity belonged together. And that path remains our responsibility today: overcoming divisions, strengthening democracy and keeping Europe united around freedom, peace and the rule of law.

🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina needs proven and visionary leadership to follow the European path. We wish the very best of luck to our members in the polls.

In these volatile times, Latvian citizens can count on @Jauna_Vienotiba to defend democracy, strengthen security, and uphold shared European values. As Latvia heads to the polls, we wish the best of luck to Vienotība, the party of Europe and a staunch supporter of Ukraine.

🇮🇹 Rome, here we come! We are delighted to announce that the EPP Congress will take place on 2 and 3 March 2027 in the Italian capital. Looking forward to bringing together our political family for an important moment of reflection, unity and shaping Europe's future together.
