Granted it's been a few years since I've been through there but one incident I recall was during a power outage while sitting in the terminal, awaiting a flight to Budapest. [This was no "terminal" in any normal sense of the word: it was a dingy, reeked of Turkish tobacco and had nothing-- no food, no gift shop, no duty free.] There were men lingering about for no apparent reason, smoking, drinking raki and all dressed in dirty track suits. When the lights went out, one of the men hollered, "It's time to rape!" Not exactly the kind of image the Albanian tourism board would like to project.
