Albania’s prime minister has said he will not resign as a protest movement, initially prompted by a proposal to build a Trump family-backed resort in the Balkan state, turned violent with clashes convulsing the capital for a third consecutive day.
The alternative, he argued, would be tantamount “to a betrayal of the Albanians who gave me a strong mandate to complete negotiations on European Union membership … I will not allow violence to derail Albania’s European future.”
