A large number of police officers were deployed around the square, which was cordoned off as part of the security measures.
The Molotov incident is the latest clash recorded during the October 25 protest, where demonstrators and police had already faced off on other occasions.
Outside the Prime Minister’s Office, the situation had also grown tense, as police intervened to disperse the protesters, detained some of them, and used pepper spray.
Today’s protest marks the 13th day of the student revolt, while participants continue to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
