A view of a beach in the Orikum near the city of Vlore, some 180 km (113 miles) south of Albania's capital Tirana, June 10, 2009. Both Sali Berisha, the country's dominant political figure since Communism's fall in 1991, and Socialist challenger Edi Rama say land titling is a priority as Albania seeks foreign investment. The country in April became NATO's 28th member, after a tumultuous 1990s including a crime wave, marred elections and a dip into anarchy. Many Albanians lost their savings in pyramid schemes and up to 3,000 were killed in the ensuing violence. Picture taken on June 10, 2009.
