Albanian PM says youth protests threaten EU path, not his government

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama rejected calls to resign during a new day of youth protests, warning the demonstrations threaten Albania's European Union accession path, not his government. The protests, sparked by alleged government corruption, unemployment, and poor education standards, have spread from Tirana to other cities. Demonstrators have burned government buildings, clashed with police, and demanded Rama's resignation. Saturday's protests left 65 injured, including 37 police officers. Rama, in power since 2013, called the unrest a challenge to Albania's EU mission and invited youth to dialogue. The US embassy urged non-violence. Over 388 people face charges, while analysts cite corruption scandals damaging Albania's reputation.
