Greece accelerates Greek citizenship award to procedures 

But the biggest opportunity is to make the procedure in Greek consulates

The false data from the Census in Albania, are forcing Athens, to correct errors in its national affairs

The practice of obtaining acceptance by the Greeks in Northern Epirus, will last up to 4 months.

The official estimates of the Census in Albania, apparently, has forced Athens, put in place, going to Plan B to its foreign national policy, to grant citizenship to all Hellenic Community of Northern Epirus (Greek passports) mostly through from three Greek consulates in Albania.

The decision is taken, after Athens, has used all diplomatic sources to have to Tirana, the same wavelength, particularly in geopolitical matters, particularly to give citizenship to Albanians in Kosovo and Skopje by the Albanian Government inside sic months. In his statement, the Greek Interior Ministry, that Tirana, continues to show towards Greece, feeling not sincere cooperation, while simultaneously calling for the right to self-determination of the Greek community in Albania.

Provision for Hellenic Greek citizenship of Albania, is thought be given in a shorter time, which will also be used as self declaration of its community (census of Greeks) in Albania. The approximate number of Greek citizenship in Albania, thought to be around 600 thousand, where only Albanians who have applied, are about 100 thousand.

Giving the tow citizenship for Greeks in Albania, was approved by the Government of Karamanlis on October 2006, but the Greek foreign national Commission, had blocked, since Albania, would hold free census process for the Greek community.
