lpv:translated text	"Mr President, when at a Foreign Affairs Committee session two years ago I mentioned that some Albanians were dreaming of a ‘Greater Albania’, the majority of politicians at the time had no idea what I was talking about. However, a couple of months ago, the Albanian foreign minister referred to this idea and at the end of August the political adviser to the Albanian prime minister stated that, by 2013, all Albanians living in the Balkans should integrate within the borders of a ‘natural Albania’, as he defined it. In his view, Macedonia first needs to be partitioned and the parts inhabited by an Albanian majority should be merged with Albania (every fourth Macedonian citizen is Albanian). Assertions of this kind are impossible to ignore and ultimately beg the question: what will recognising Kosovo’s independence lead to? Is it not a step towards incorporating the region into that ‘Greater Albania’? I was an observer at the most recent parliamentary elections in Albania. They were not one hundred percent fault-free, but we must acknowledge the progress the Albanians have made towards democracy."@en1
