The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexandros Yennimatas, made the following statement in response to a journalist’s question on the law on minorities passed by the Albanian Parliament:
“Rather than safeguarding the rights of minorities in the country, based on European standards, the law on protection of minorities passed by the Albanian Parliament perpetuates the arbitrariness of the Hoxha regime. It is a step forward for existing and non-existent minorities and a step backward for the existing main minority of Albania.”
