In Albania, constitutional court overturns impeachment of president

Albania’s Constitutional Court has overturned parliament’s impeachment of President Ilir Meta.

The 52-year-old had been accused of inciting bias and violence against the ruling Socialist party ahead of April's parliamentary election.
