Greek-Albanian relations are marked by a broad contractual framework and by frequent exchanges of visits at all levels. The respective  governments share a common political will to further promote bilateral relations, expand bilateral cooperation, and settle pending issues. In this spirit, during the visit of Foreign Minister Mr. Dendias to Tirana on October 20th 2020, the two parties announced their agreement to refer the delimitation of their maritime zones to the International Court of Justice. Greece haslent its support to Albania’s accession to NATO, as well as to the country’s European course, on the basis of fair conditionality, the principle of own merits and respect for good neighbourly relations. It recognizes the progress made so far in various fields and encourages Tirana to keep up with the necessary reforms in order to speed up their EU accession path. Fulfillment of all criteria for Albania’s accession course and the implementation of European standards is also of vital importance for the protection of the rights Greek National Minority.

Greek-Albanian educational and cultural relations are governed by the “Agreement on Cooperation in the field of education, science and culture” which was signed between the two countries in 1998. As part of university education in Albania, the Greek language is taught at the Department of Greek Language of the University of Tirana and at the Department of Greek language, literature and culture of the University of Gjirokastër. Moreover, there are Greek language schools as part of the Albanian public education system, as well as private ones, such as “Arsakeion” in Tirana, schools of the Orthodox Church of Albania and of the Non-profit association “Brotherhood”.

The native national Greek minority is the biggest one in Albania and its presence dates back as far as the 7th century BC. The vast majority live in the broader region of Gjirokastër, Sarande, Delvine, and Himarë, but many Greeks are scattered across the entire territory of Albania.
