Protesters and anti-riot police have clashed in Albania’s main cities in scenes not witnessed for decades.
Government buildings have been attacked, as have some private businesses.

The new demonstrations were announced as a student movement, ostensibly demanding action by the government to help with the high cost of education fees and books – and the higher cost of living.
