This report provides a region-wide survey of the issues surrounding majority and minority ethnic Albanian populations in Albania, Kosovo, southern Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Montenegro. The paper reviews the brief history of the Albanian National Army, the only significant armed movement in recent times to espouse an overtly pan-Albanian political agenda. Considerable focus is also given to the historic roots of “pan-Albanianism,” Albanian diasporas elsewhere in Europe and North America and the often voiced concern that Albanian birth rates are being used to politically alter the landscape in the Balkans.
