Albania–Greece relations
Albanian–Greek relations are the bilateral foreign relations between Albania and Greece. Due to the strong presence of Albanian communities in Greece and the Greek communities in Albania, and the frequent high-level contacts between the governments of Albania and Greece, the two countries today enjoy warm diplomatic relations. Both countries are members of many international organizations, including the Council of Europe and NATO, and share common political views about the Balkans and the world, with Greece being a strong supporter of the EU candidacy of Albania, by proposing "Agenda 2014" for promoting the integration of all the Western Balkan states into the European Union. Under the Greek EU Presidency, Albania, on 24 June 2014 was granted official EU candidate status which coincides with the 10th anniversary of "Agenda 2014". Greece is also Albania's largest investor and main trading partner, and along with Italy, Greece strongly supported Albania's NATO entry, which was achieved in 2009. The governments of the two countries cooperate in many fields, from market and energy, to military, tourism and culture, with large projects such as the Trans Adriatic Pipeline and the Hydroelectric power plants. The Greek government also is one of Albania's largest donors and the main foreign donor of the National Theater of Albania.
Modern diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in 1971 and today are regarded as good.〔http://www.euractiv.com/sections/enlargement/albanian-official-we-are-much-more-pro-european-several-eu-members-302813〕 Current issues in the agenda of the two NATO members include the abolition of the status of war that is still in effect between Greece and Albania, since the Second World War when the Italian forces attacked Greece in October 1940.〔(Albania calls on Greece to abolish war declaration )〕〔http://www.balkaneu.com/war-peace-albanian-grek-relations/〕〔http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/albania-calls-on-greece-to-end-state-of-war〕 and the human right issues the Greek minority faces in Albania.〔http://www.hrw.org/legacy/summaries/s.albania952.html〕〔http://www.minorityrights.org/1400/albania/greeks.html〕 However, despite the previous bilateral issues, the two countries are said to enjoy a historical friendship due to their shared Ottoman past, as well as due to cultural affinity between the two nations.
==History==
After Albanian declaration of independence in 1912 land division between Albania and Greece was finally solved under the force of the Great Powers (Austria–Hungary and Italy) with the Florence Protocol. Relations did not improve until 1939 with the occupation of Albania by Italy. Greek and Albanian forces came into conflict during the Greco-Italian War even though during the Axis Occupation of Greece the Greek and Albanian resistance groups were in close contact and even exchanged information about the Nazi occupation forces.〔http://www.ahistoryofgreece.com/worldwarII.htm〕
Following a freeze lasting more than 30 years, the two countries re-established diplomatic relations in 1971, at an instance where economic cooperation and strategic calculations made Enver Hoxha and the right-wing Greek military junta of 1967–1974 explore paths of cooperation. Today, both nations have described their relations as 'excellent' with Albania considering Greece one of its 'strongest and most important allies', as both are NATO member-states and are enjoying close relations nowadays.〔
