Albanian journalist arrested for writing against EU diplomat
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Albanian police say a journalist has been arrested for making calls for violence against a European Union diplomat.
Kastriot Myftaraj, 51, also a lawyer politically affiliated with the center-right opposition, wrote on Facebook against Romana Vlahutin, EU ambassador to Tirana, considering her a "terrorist."
A statement Wednesday said Myftaraj was arrested the previous night "after publishing an article where he makes open calls to commit violent acts against constitutional order."

Myftaraj faces up to three years in jail.
