UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP:  Greeks are the largest ethnic minority in Albania and are primarily concentrated in “South Albania” (the Albanian designation) or “Northern Eprius” (the Greek preference).  Religious and ancient ethnic tensions combined with land disputes have created a history of constant conflict and mutual verbal, legal, and diplomatic retaliations.
