An appeals court in the city of Vlora has overturned a lower court ruling that sentenced an ethnic-Greek mayor to a six-month prison term for ordering the removal of road signs because they were not bilingual.

Mayor Vasil Bollano of the town of Himara on Albania’s southern coast ordered the removal of road signs in December 2007, arguing that the signs should also have been written in Greek, as he considers the area a Greek-minority zone.

Prosecutors filed charges against Bollano for abuse of power, arguing that his actions were illegal and that the removed signs cost Albanian taxpayers roughly €170,000. Bollano rejected the charges against him as politically motivated.

According to Albanian sources the Greek minority in Albania is estimated to be around three per cent of the country's total population, when the Greek Ethnic Organization "Omonia" said for 25 per cent of Albanian total population, which have old Greek origin.
