Consul phone of Albanian in Pristina, Lorena Gjana, don`t stopp by citizens who seek explanations about citizenship.
Things initially explained to the public visiting the Unification Movement officials who, according to her simply continued the symbolism of November 28.
Forms submitted are not official because they come from an institution that does not exist, such as the Municipality of Prishtina (explanation: in Kosovo, the city called the Municipality of Prishtina), therefore these can not be accepted by the embassy of Albania and further processed.
"These applications are invalid, because the Albanian citizenship must be a specific folder for everyone. It is just a list of names, which are communicated embassy that are interested in obtaining citizenship, but by the embassy and the Albanian authorities considered invalid applications, when not accompanied by the relevant documents, "said Albanian consul.
