[LINK] More thoughts on Greater Albania

[rfmcdonald]

This post's title refers Greater Albania as a cultural region, rather than to a (very unlikely) unified state. Doug Muir has another post at A Fistful of Euros examining the "Albanosphere," describing the community's heartland in brief. It's poor and backwards but catching up rapidly to the rest of the Balkans and Europe, it's culturally conservative but religiously tolerant, its culture is clannish and is unfortunate enough to have a venal political class, and Albanians have a poor reputation in Europe but at the same time are on Europe's doorstep.
