Tirana. Recognition of Bulgarian national minority in Albania will depend on how many people will declare their Bulgarian national identity at the upcoming census in Albania in 2011.
“We are satisfied with the decision for the upcoming census in Albania to provide a field in which people will be given the freedom to declare their national identity. It will be almost the same in Bulgaria,” said Bulgarian Minister without portfolio in charge of the Bulgarian residents abroad Bozhidar Dimitrov after meeting Albania’s Deputy Foreign Minister Edit Harxhi, FOCUS News Agency reporter informs.
“As I say – let’s see the Bulgarians in Albania, who seem very numerous in front of my office and are now much more active in their demands, let’s see them. There are no obstacles. It is not like in other Balkan counties where there is a risk for Bulgarians to express their national identity,” Bozhidar Dimitrov remarked.
