The head of OMONIA, Fredi Beleri, told Euronews Albania what they will ask the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis when he visits Himara.

Beleri said that one of the long-standing concerns of the Greek minority in Himara is the issue of property and the census, which he will submit to the prime minister so that their voice is heard by the Albanian government.

“Our problems are known in Albania and Greece. The main problem that Himarjots have is the issue of property. 60 years ago they were seized by the state and today in 2022 these same properties still do not exist in the names of their legitimate owners. Registration continues at a very slow pace, the current government does not want the property to go to the owner. We will highlight the problem so that it can be forwarded to the Albanian government and so that this problem can be finally solved. I represent the Greek minority and speak on their behalf. There can be no development without the property going to its rightful owner. We also want to register the minority in Himara, which has not happened so far”, said Beleri.
