"In such protests that are not partisan. There are also segments that are for or against the opposition. Today, people that we have identified and who are operational organized a scheme together with elements that are the opposition of the opposition. I was on the boulevard for about 3 hours.
They approached and we had identified them, they approached first using some children. First they started throwing stones. These are well-known schemes. They are the same ones who start grabbing and hitting others. They got together with other elements of the "blind" and made a scheme to remove me from the protest.
"They didn't shoot me, but two other citizens. These schemes are intended to divert attention. These schemes to tarnish the protest have nothing to do with the citizens," Balliu said on the "Top Story" show on Top Channel. /LAPSI.al
