Tirana - The Albanian Prime Minister, Mr Fatos Nano, resigned yesterday amid continuing unrest in the country, Mr Musa Ulqini, spokesman of his Socialist Party, said. The announcement came shortly after the Albanian Interior Minister, Mr Perikli Teta, resigned from his post.
"I present my irrevocable resignation because I cannot work with a corrupt and incompetent political leadership," Mr Teta had said.
The resignations came two days after Albanian opposition leader and former president, Mr Sali Berisha, told supporters in central Tirana to continue their fight to oust Mr Nano.
