I always find the "in the context of the EU" comment interesting, we hear this a fair bit from the Albanian populace. I think what the Albanians are saying is that once the Balkans are in the EU they will become the preferred vassal state of the Balkans, they can then do away with the "others" hence crystallise the greater Albanian project. This tactic worked really well under the Ottoman Empire. Albanians held top political and military positions and locals served in the army which committed appalling atrocities against local Christian civilians, ultimately the Albanians expanded eastward towards the Vardar in significant numbers hence the status quo. Do Albanians ever ask themselves why today's Albanians in Kosovo/ROM are 99% Muslim and not Albania? These territories that were once part of the Kosovo Villayet..
Perhaps we could start a seperate thread on participation of Albanians in atrocities and ethnic cleansing of Christians in the Balkans the last time Albanians were preferred vassals in the Balkans. We could even throw in NAZI occupation.
