Welcome to Tirana, Europe's pollution capital

When Albania's communist dictatorship collapsed in the late 1980s there were only 2,000 cars in the country, and horses and carts were a more common form of transport in the capital, Tirana.

In the 15 years since it was released from its straitjacket, the city, together with the rest of the country, has paid the price of freedom.

Choked with some 300,000 cars, lorries and buses which burn fuel banned in the EU, Tirana is now seen as the most polluted capital in Europe.
