Legalization of Albanians postponed until autumn

Parliament’s heavy workload and guarantees for schools delay the deadline Greek Foreign Minister Pangallos on emigrants Greek Foreign Minister Teodoros Pangallos said yesterday that his government is ready to legalize the hundreds of thousands of illegal Albanian workers employed in Greece by autumn. “The adoption of this law by parliament has been postponed until autumn, since we are dealing with two separate issues: seasonal workers, who make up 2/3 of illegal Albanians in Greece, and those with permanent residence, who will enjoy a different status from the former,” Pangallos told journalists. But diplomatic sources say that before finally resolving this problem, Greece wants assurances that three schools for the Greek minority will open, as planned for next September. page 2 Albanian clandestine migrants setting off for Greece.
