Edit: After a bit of googling it would seem that a paper boarding pass is required in Albania, which must be obtained from the checkin desk for your flight. Different!
This is like SIN where OLCI is a complete redundancy too, security bods at the entrance of departures must see a physical boarding pass for them to stamp. Ridiculous.
