Greece’s foreign ministry on Thursday warned neighbouring Albania that its European prospects were directly linked to respecting the ethnic Greek minority within its borders, calling upon Tirana “to return to a direction of progress rather than reversal, in order for its accession course to proceed.”
As is made clear in the European Commission’s report, the announcement added, “respect for the rights of the Greek ethnic minority are directly linked to Albania’s European prospects and an inseparable part of the five Main Priorities for the start of the country’s accession negotiations with the EU, the fulfillment of which will be examined exclusively by the European Council.”
The foreign ministry noted that Greece expects “full protection of the minority’s right to self-determination throughout the territory of Albania, a measure that Albania had made a commitment to adopt by May 2018, and the implementation of the law on property, so that the members of the minority acquire the property deeds they are entitled to.”
