Our Man in Tirana

Mark Mardell, the BBC's European editor, has made his first visit to Albania and is blogging about the country on the BBC website .

I'm still working on the photographs. In the meantime the BBC have been in Butrint and produced a radio programme as part of their Heritage: The Balkans series on the World Service. You can stream the programme anytime or it is available as a download for the next week.
