> ICGs latest Albania report, entitled Albania: State of the Nation,
> examines recent political developments in Albania and traces the social,
> political and economic after-effects of last years Kosovo crisis. In
> particular, the report assesses the implications of Kosovos
> liberation from Belgrades rule for the future of Albanian nationalism
> and Albanias role as the motherland of ethnic Albanians throughout the
> region.
> 
> Looking at the evolving nature of pan-Albanian aspirations in the
> Balkans, the report highlights a series of new initiatives for closer
> inter-Albanian co-operation as well as the re-emergence of old
> grievances - such as the property rights claim of the ethnic Albanian
> Cham minority in northern Greece.
> 
> The report underscores Albanias alarming security situation and the
> chronic inability of the countrys struggling state institutions to stem
> the rising tide of violence and organised crime.  It concludes with a
> call for greater regional co-operation and a series of targeted
> technical assistance initiatives designed to help contain and, over
> time, tackle corruption, blood feuds, the power of organised crime and
> illegal trafficking in drugs and people.
