Albania’s Socialist opposition on Sunday ended a three-day protest in central Tirana by pledging to stay out of parliament until the government agrees to a partial recount of ballots cast in a closely contested general election last June.
Slogans reading “Where is my vote? ... Open the ballot boxes” were projected on a giant screen outside the office of Sali Berisha, the veteran conservative prime minister, who is resisting pressure to settle the electoral dispute.
