Revision as of 12:45, 14 November 2004 by 213.214.48.43 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)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 allegedly undermine political and human rights of Albanian minorities, for example in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece and Serbia. In fact the Greater Albania is used by Serbian politicians and academics, in this way to convince international politicians about the real aim of the Albanian population. But, the real fact mentioned by world recognized writers and researchers of Balkans History like N. Malcolm, are explaining in very nice and original way, based on facts that this notion is Serbian scion, and the real term which could be used (if some time those former Albanian countries get together again) will be “Ethnic Albania”.
