Xenophobic Rhetoric

The map of "Great Albania"

Such statements have been mainly related to the so-called Greater Albania project, which is the idea of incorporating the Albanian-populated lands in Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece, Serbia and Montenegro.

On October 1, 2014, it was reported that new Albanian school textbooks contain a map of neighbouring territories that “rightfully belong to Albania”. This includes the territories of Greece, Serbia and Macedonia. The geography textbook also contains a chapter – “Albanian Lands in Greece”, which assets that “North-Western Greece, from Florina to Preveza must belong to Albania”.

Nevertheless, there have been no statements aimed against local ethnic or religious minorities in Albania.
