Summary
Water cannon and tear gas were used in Tirana after protesters near parliament hurled eggs and other objects at vehicles carrying lawmakers and ministers to a plenary session.
The clash marked one of the tensest confrontations since demonstrations against coastal development projects linked to Jared Kushner began about a month ago.
The violence signaled an escalation in a protest campaign that had centered on opposition to the Kushner-linked project and has now spilled into direct confrontations with officials.
