The European Union has reacted after a news story published in several media outlets in Albania, which made serious accusations against the EU Ambassador to Tirana, Silvio Gonzato, for having interfered in the OSCE/ODIHR preliminary report on the elections, by removing several names.

The EU says the news is false, while emphasizing that "disinformation can damage public trust in democratic processes."

Full reaction:

Disclaimer: The article published by Syri.net, which claims that the EU Delegation to Albania or the Ambassador intervened to remove names from the OSCE/ODIHR preliminary election report, is false. OSCE/ODIHR election observation reports are independent, impartial and based only on verified findings by their observation teams. Disinformation can damage public trust in democratic processes.
