Police in Albania used tear gas and water cannons to break up protests on Thursday against a planned resort linked to US President Donald Trump's family.
It was the latest escalation of the so-called "Flamingo Revolution," which has seen near-daily protests against a major development backed by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner in the ecologically protected area of Zvernec on Albania's southern coast.
At least 18 people were detained on Thursday, police said, while 12 officers were injured as some protesters threw eggs, rocks and other objects outside the parliament in Tirana.

Protesters have accused the government of not listening to their concerns.
