TIRANA (Reuters) - Albanian police were speechless
when around 30 Scandinavian women went topless,
shocking local bathers and causing an uproar in an
Albanian beach resort.
"Police only watched ... they could not approach the
tourists because they spoke no English," a local
newspaper in the southern Albania coastal town of
Sarande said.
Albanian mothers dragged their children away and
police received a barrage of complaints over the
Scandinavian tourists.
The Scandinavians left after two hours when their
guide was informed that nude bathing was banned on
public beaches. Nudity and topless bathing are still
taboo in the poor Balkan country.
