Greece and Albania would both benefit substantially from closer relations

Albania held elections in June 2013, with Edi Rama winning enough support to become the country’s new Prime Minister. Alexandros Nafpliotis writes on Albania’s relationship with Greece, and the potential for the new government to create closer ties between the two countries. He notes that despite existing tensions, both countries would benefit greatly from a closer relationship, particularly in light of Greece’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, January-June 2014.
