Creating a Greater Albania uniting all major groups of Albanians 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 existance (or not) of a large scale and serious plan to create a Greater Albania (and its size and importance) 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 the ethnic Albanians' political and human rights, for example in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Greece, as well as in the court of world opinion (for example Kosovo).
