The newly appointed Greek Consul in Gjirokaster considered the Census held recently as a completely Albanian matter.

After meeting the local administration in Albania, consul Nikos Kotrokois declared that the role of the Greek Consulate in Gjirokaster will serve to the improvement of the relations between the two countries and Albania’s EU integration.

“I am sure that the Greek Consulate will support the joint efforts of both countries for reinforcing the cooperation in culture, education, heritage, tourism and other sectors of transfrontier interest. The Albanian citizens of Greek nationality are a connecting bridge that brings our countries even closer”.

The Consul also answered to the questions about the Greek position for the population registration in Albania.

“The Population Registration is an Albanian matter, and it is up to the Albanian citizens, including the Greek minority, to decide if they will participate in the Census or not. We support every democratic initiative in the country”, the Consul declared.
