SARANDA, Albania (Reuters) - A waiter in an Albanian restaurant in the coastal resort town of Saranda apologised to newly arriving customers that little or nothing was still available on the menu.

"Italians have eaten everything because Italy is occupying us again, this time for good," the waiter joked, while explaining to a local diner the limited choices left for a meal.
