Albania will denounce it in The Hague OMONIA TRIAL / Request by prosecutors in their closing argument TIRANA - Albania is seeking to turn to the International Court in The Hague and present the material document that proves anti-Albanian activity on the part of members of the Greek secret organization Omonia. Prosecutor Arben Qeleshi, during the request for the prosecution’s closing statement and the reading of the defendants’ sentence by the court, also revealed part of the activity of this Greek organization before those present in the courtroom. A material submitted to the United Nations has been taken from the Attorney General of the Republic of Greece concerning the problems of “Chameria”, with the aim of bringing about a change of borders in the Balkans. In addition, in the material seized at the home of the head of “Omonia”, Vasil Bollano, it is stated that Greece should expand as far as Vlora. The materials presented in court also concern map projects, sketches and other plans. In the prosecutors’ closing argument, a guilty verdict was requested for the offense of espionage and the defendants’ punishment. The prosecutor stated that Omonia “has been used by certain circles to achieve anti-Albanian aims” and that the documents contain clear data on their cooperation with Greek officials.
