What is the official rule on Albanian roundabouts?

The consensus on the internet seems to be that Albanian drivers have a tendency to dive in roundabouts regardless of priority. My advice is that your drive carefully and defensively and don't assume that having the right of way means that other drivers will yield. Do this everywhere, not just in Albania.

When going straight ahead at a roundabout you should?

But in a full size roundabout, traffic could still freely enter and exit the roundabout, respecting the ordinary rules of right of way, and no obstruction would occur.
