Creating a Greater Albania by uniting all major groups of Albanians and territories where Albanians live in one state is the proclaimed aim of some Albanian political and military groups.
The justification for the borders presented often includes reference to the situation prior to World War I, and the argument that these pre-war boundaries should be restored.
Political uses of the concept of a Greater Albania
The degree to which different groups are working on the plan to create a Greater Albania is disputed.
Non-Albanian politicians and ethnic leaders are sometimes accused of using the idea to generate ethnic hatred and fear of Albanian political activities, and to justify policies that undermine political and human rights of Albanian minorities, for example in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece and Serbia.
The term is most frequently used by Serbian nationalist politicians and academics to legitimise under-handed tactics in the previously self-governing province. Most non-Serbian historians agree that this term is largely nonsense with little place in reality.
