No entry/exit stamp

I am Non-EU national, but a long term resident of Romania. Last weekend I travelled to Albania. To my surprise while both my entry and exit at Tirana airport, there were no stamping in my passport. I didn't even see the officers scanning my passport. Any idea why is this the case?

Is Albania is doing something like EES in schengen countries?

2 days trip to Albania, concerned about recent incidents

Hi I am a non-EU citizen, living in Romania for my study. I travel a lot within schengen and many times while crossing internal borders I have been asked a lot of questions, searched quite a few times (probably because of my appearance and behaviour, I look somewhat like illegal immigrant or drug smuggler). Spefically recently I was trying to go to North cyprus from Nicosia, where I was refused entry (they said, they recently stopped entry for passport holders of my country) and then while entering from Italy to France, I was taken out of the train for luggage and body search. Just now, I was lying down in a bench near my visiting university at Poland. Again I was questioned by some local police about narcotics.

In this situation, tomorrow I have a 2 days trip to Albania coming, which is outside schengen. Do you think I should cancel my trip?
