Albania Estate - Albania Property

15/12 - Here is part of a recent report by Paul Henley from the BBC.
"Many in Albania - which has Europe's fastest-growing economy and aspirations to join the EU - feel the former dictatorship has come a long way fast.

Lufti Dervishi (a director of Transparency International in Albania) is old enough to compare living in Albania today with how life used to be.
Whenever he thinks the road towards European integration is not a fast enough one, he stops to remind himself how far his country has come since it threw off what was the continent's strictest communist regime only 19 years ago.
"I can remember the terrible things of the past", he says. "There were times when you could end up in prison just for learning English."
He describes how conversation with a foreigner could be harshly punished and how any mention of "sensitive information", like the fact there were no potatoes in a shop, could result in a long jail sentence.
"And there was awful poverty," he says. "I myself - we were four in the family, four children - can remember the time when my parents could only afford one egg between us for breakfast.
"But when I tell this story to my son who is 12 years old, he just laughs, he cannot understand the reality of the past."
