RE: A few facts about Albania

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

I delivered humanitarian aid to Albanians at the Stenkovac refugee camp at the time when Milosevich drove them out of Kosovo back in 1999 I think it was. When they found out I'm a Bulgarian, these refugees turned hostile. I asked the interpreter why? Why did they turn so hostile when myself and the team with me were nothing but friendly and we had risked going into a war zone delivering to them aid?

The response was: because Bulgarians, Serbs and pretty much everyone else on the Balkans represents foreign invaders who have taken over Albanian (Ilyrian) territory!

I have met some decent Albanian Protestant Christians in the US but sadly here is what Albania is mostly known for:

Even The Mob Avoids the Albanians
Albanian crime gangs top list of most feared foreign gangsters
The Rise and Rise of Britain's Albanian Coke Dealers
Albania’s Largest Cocaine Seizure Points to New European Routes
