It's something you hear about more outside of Albania," the executive director of the Albanian Media Institute told the Belgrade-based daily Danas when asked about the Balkan country's "official position" on the idea of ​​forming a "Greater Albania."
The paper ran the article ahead of the official visit to Belgrade this month of the Albanian prime minister.

Lani, who was recently in Belgrade for the Belgrade Security Forum, believes that the visit of Edi Rama, the first by an Albanian prime minister in seven decades, will be "very important for relations between the two countries."
