STORYLINE:
Thousands of Albanian opposition supporters on Saturday clashed with police in an anti-government rally to protest what they say is a corrupt and inefficient Cabinet, asking for its resignation and early elections.
Supporters of the centre-right Democratic Party-led rally broke police ranks as they tried to enter the headquarters of leftist Socialist Party Prime Minister Edi Rama.
They threw flares and other objects and tried to destroy a protective cover at the main door, which was later broken.
They did not go inside.
Police offered little resistance, staying on the side, although they used tear gas and water cannons, and spoke through loudspeakers calling on the protesters to disperse.
