A Communist regime since 1945 and completely cut off from the outside
world for thirty years, Albania opened its frontiers in 1990.

thousands of Albanians then tried to flee to Italy and Greece.

little Albania is normalising its relations with these countries.
It is
now the most rural and poorest state in Europe, with an unemployment rate
of almost 20%.
However, since 1994 Albania has begun its recovery.
Its
economic growth rate is high (over 8%).

Europe to express its wish to join NATO, it has been a member of the
