Content: This issue contains testimonies, documents, articles by scholars, writers, politicians, interviews with ministers and prime ministers, and rebel leaders. Following an interview with Ismail Kadaré, the content is divided into six parts. It begins by investigating the current situation in terms of an “announced disaster,” and then identifies its roots and delves into the specific topic of ethnicities and emigration. Next, the Albanian problem is examined within the international relations of the regional and Mediterranean context. Finally, Albania is projected into the future, along the lines of the ideas and scenarios drawn by scholars, but also and especially by politicians. Conclusions are made by three authoritative voices: Albanian Prime Minister Bashkim Fino, Italian Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Piero Fassino, and peace scholar Johan Galtung.
