Abstract
«Great Albania» project is an idea of the Albanians to create a state with the Albanian ethnic group prevailing. Th e idea was announced for a fi rst time in 1878 by Prizren League of the Albanian Nation, which called for autonomy within the Ottoman Empire with the Albanians’ ethnic majority. Th e project was realized in practice during fascist occupation in 1939–1944. Nowadays it is being implemented diff erently in various countries. Government authorities, who urge to annex territories with the dominant Albanian population, support this project. Th e Macedonian Albanians live in the north-west of the country and actively participate in the state’s political life. Following the development in Kosovo they have received de facto autonomy. In Montenegro and Greece the Albanians live peacefully, only protesting for extending
their rights.
