Albanian Government recognizes Bulgarian citizens as a minority in Albania.

Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati, withdraws from his first position for the non existence of a Bulgarian minority in Albania.

After historical facts and 'pressures' by Bulgaria, the Members of the Parliamentary Committee for Legal Issues, Public Administration and Human Rights voted pro the new law that aims to boosts the status and rights of minorities in Albania.

Now Albania has officially nine known minorities, Macedonian, Greek, Wallachian, Montenegrin, Serbian, Bosnian, Roma, Egyptian and Bulgarian minorities.
