Albanian poll: Greece is the second greatest threat after Serbia

Albanians hate Greeks, thus seen as enemies of the Albanian nation

Unfortunately, once again, Albania neighbor, come to remind Greece of the true threat that feeling and thoughts regarding Greece. According to a report in the Albanian newspaper "Mapo", the research conducted by the Institute of International Studies, on which country, is the greatest threat to Albania, showed that respondents consider Serbia as the biggest threat to first positional 51,6% (partly justified by Kosovo) and second Greece with 47.9% share. After came to Italy with the astonishing rate of 0.5% .... When asked which country had an impact on the Albanian government for the period 1992 - 2010, 44% of respondents Italy 35% Greece, 12% of the U.S. and 9% in Serbia. As shown in the annual remittances of 1 billion euros of Albanian immigrants in Greece have not affected the Albanian public opinion, nor the fact that hundreds of thousands of their compatriots are building right now the country with money who worked in Greece.

It seems that feelings of guilt created by the Greek people of various NGOs and politicians, known for unacceptable behavior by the latter to foreigners was not enough to affect the "negative" image of Greeks in the Albanian public. In short, it seems that the Greeks as a people, as political elites want to maintain friendly relations and cooperation with them as friendly neighbors, they regard us as the second greatest threat to their country. The question arising from this research is simple.

This attitude of Albanian neighbors have really thought the Greek political and economic elites, or once again be explained as a normal reaction of the Albanians that the famous Greek "nationalism." Interesting is that in every area of the Albanian Greek life, the economy, the business, art, culture, music, family, etc., Greece is regarded as friendly countries, and for self-determination rights of the Greeks in southern Albania, Albanians hate Greeks, thus seen as enemies of the Albanian nation.
