TIRANA (Reuters) - Albanian opposition supporters took to the streets again on Saturday in a mostly peaceful protest, the sixth national one in three months, calling on Prime Minister Edi Rama to step down to pave the way for early elections.

Waving posters and releasing paper lanterns marked "Quit", some in the crowd of several thousand threw a dozen paint bombs at Rama's office. Some also hurled firecrackers at riot police near the parliament building.
