The Greek minority in Albania, is passing a dangerous period to the front of the politic elections next year.

The Battle for new members of Albanian parliament has divided in tow part the Human Rights Party - UHRP known as support of the Greek Minority in Albania. The internal conflict in UHRP manifested by the decision of the President V. Doules to dismiss K. Barka, who participated in the coalition government as Minister of Labor in connection with the dismissal of the General Secretary of Ministry A. Marto, a close friend of V. Doule.

It also criticism that many of the local minority executives confrontation with the Albanian authorities are simply to cover the conciliation that exists in other «fronts».

Berisha (Jamarber Maltezi) as the important manager of World Bank programs to promote "tolerance of the Greek minority actors in the establishment and operation of "tourist villages" against any interest of the Greek Population property, while Mr. Berisha himself for obvious reasons chose an Orthodox in religion, an unknown personage, who were granted 8000 acres of property in the Greek tourist area, which supposedly belonged to the family of an Albanian doctor before the Communist regime.
