Mfarhanonline News Three people were shot dead as protesters fought police outside Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha’s office on Friday during a rally to demand the government resign over corruption allegations.
The European Union rejected Albania’s application for candidate status late last year, urging it to meet an agenda of 12 points topped by fighting corruption. The opposition Socialist Party led by Edi Rama has called for new elections after refusing to accept the results of June 2009 parliamentary polls, which Berisha’s Democratic Party won by a wafer-thin margin. Talks to break the deadlock have failed and Berisha said his opponent should be accountable for the protests. Supporters of the opposition Socialist Party had earlier rallied outside the prime minister’s office and some had pelted the building and police with stones, sticks and umbrellas. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, water cannon and stun grenades. Smoke billowed from burning cars, some of them police vehicles.
