In accordance with article 25 of the Framework Convention since the year 2001, Albania has transmitted periodically to the Council of Europe, three reports on the implementation of the provisions of the Framework Convention, with regard the protection of the rights of minorities in Albania 3 . In the framework of the periodic monitoring cycles, following the transmission of national Reports, the relative Opinions of the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention4 have been adopted. After the submissions of relevant Opinions of the Advisory Committee 5 and the comments by the Albanian authorities on these Opinions6, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe has adopted the relevant resolutions on the implementation of the Framework Convention by Albania 7. 3. Specifically in the context of the third cycle of monitoring, the measures taken by Albania on the implementation of the Framework Convention were reviewed by the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention based on the third Report transmitted by the Albanian authorities in January 2011, and the information gathered during the visit of this Committee in Albania, in the month of September 2011. 4. The Albanian institutions consider and assess the process of preparing the report as a means to ensure the fulfillment of international obligations and as an opportunity to present the situation of minority rights in the framework of the implementation of the Convention, in order to take measures on the implementation of the Convention. In the course of preparing this report, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as the institution responsible for drafting the national reports on human rights conventions, has informed the competent institutions and set up an inter-institutional working group on the preparation of this report. 5. The report was compiled in accordance with the outline for the state reports to be submitted under the fourth monitoring cycle 8 . The first part of the report provides information on the practical measure to continue implementing the Framework Convention, and to raise awareness on the results of the third monitoring cycle. The second part of the report provides information on the measures to address the issues identified in the third monitoring cycle. The third part provides information on the implementation of the articles, with particular attention to further recommendations of the third cycle of monitoring. 1 Hereinafter the Framework Convention. 2 Hereinafter RA. 3 First report was transmitted in July 2001; Second report transmitted in May 2007. 4 Hereianfter the Advisory Committee. 5 First opinion of the Advisory Committee adopted in September 2002 (ACFC/INF/OP/I(2003)004); Second opinion adopted in May 2008 (ACFC/OP/II(2008)003); Third opinion adopted in November 2011 (ACFC/OP/III(2011)009). 6 Comments of the Albanian government, submitted specifically: February 2003 (GVT/COM/INF/OP/I(2003)004); December 2008 (GVT/COM/II(2008)005); June 2012 (GVT/COM/III(2012)003). 7 The Resolutions of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Ministers adopted relatively: May 2005- Resolution ResCMN(2005)2; July 2009 Resolution CM/ResCMN(2009)5; 12 February 2014 Resolution CM/ResCMN(2014)1. 8 Adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe at the 1169th , on 30 April 2013. 3 6.

While most of the countries of the region remained broadly stable, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo set themselves apart as pockets of real – or possible – instability. In the case of Bosnia, the risk of instability largely derived from the post-election challenge of forming ruling coalitions at different levels of government. The process of ethnic coalition building can be challenging enough at the best of times. However, this time around it is compounded by the lack of a legal basis for forming part of the Federation entity’s Parliament (the upper House of Peoples), without which the Federation entity government cannot be formed.

    Question for written answer P-005565/2018 to the Commission Rule 130 Eleftherios Synadinos (NI) Subject: Ethnic Greek European citizen executed by Albanian police On 28 October, Greek National Day, commemorating the refusal of Greece to acquiesce in the savagery of other European states, its resistance to the massive Nazi offensive and its victory in Northern Epirus, Konstantinos Katsifas, an ethnic Greek, was gunned down by the Albanian authorities under circumstances that as yet remain unclear. It appears that the shooting occurred after he had raised a Greek flag at the Greek military cemetery during the official annual celebration held by Greek residents in the village of Bularat in Gjirokastër, some six kilometres from the border with Greece. It is here that those who fell during the epic struggle on the Albanian front are buried1 2. A political organisation representing the Greek ethnic minority in Albania has accused the Albanian police of carrying out a ‘coldblooded execution’ and of disregarding established procedures. It also complains of a wave of anti-Greek propaganda and a growing undercurrent of hostility towards the ethnic Greek minority3. In view of this: 1. Will the Commission launch an impartial investigation into what was effectively a breach of the human rights of a European citizen, in view of the EU-Albania accession negotiations? 2. Given that the Protocol of Corfu, which was ratified but not implemented, was never annulled by a subsequent agreement, will the Commission include it in the accession negotiations, underlining the need to ensure good neighbourly relations, with a view to upholding the rights of the Greek minority in Albania? 3.
