23 million drachmas to expel 10,000 Albanian refugees 17,000 Albanians risk being imprisoned in Thessaloniki The expelled refugees declare they will return to Greece again Will Greece close the borders for Albanians? These days Albania faces the scandalous removal of 17,000 Albanians. After this incident, as seen in the photograph, Athens seems to be reacting in step with the refusal to legalize Albanian refugees. This report was intended to announce that the Greek government, now in a powerful operation, is using other means no less forbidden than before, but with a new organization. Likewise, this figure corresponds to the value of 2,300,000 drachmas placed at the disposal of the gendarmerie to carry out this operation. The Albanian authorities have described this as a new situation with consequences in Kosovo. This event, which began unexpectedly, happened shortly after the visit of former Prime Minister Aleksandër Meksi to Athens. Observers think that the main change compared with the Greek government’s results so far is the reduction of deportations to the hundreds of thousands. This legalization of refugees with temporary cards was the reason for an internal cohesion within the Council of Greece, where it was decided and signed that Albanians should be expelled. Another important detail is that over the last 17 days in Thessaloniki around 5 complaints? and 3 after midnight and 5 arguments have been gathered, making it perhaps the most serious issue between the two countries. According to the latest statistics from 1948 and after this year, the Albanian state Bersha? declared that the government of Tirana intended to normalize relations with Greece, but instead the opposite happened. The first reports came from the Kakavijë border station, where within a short time entries into Greece were stopped. This shows that Athens does not intend to grant temporary permits to Albanians anymore, but will act even more harshly. On Monday evening 300,000 Albanians? were not allowed to cross. The report? is currently closed and for months? no easing seems likely. Meanwhile, Greek police use violence against those caught and send them toward Thessaloniki. Some of them have been sheltered in the city’s prisons, where conditions, according to testimonies, are harsh. Some of the expelled state that upon reaching Albania they will return to Greece again, seeking work and survival. Others say that closing the borders would bring major consequences for Albanian families living on income from emigration.
