Albania is a nation without memories

Albania signed an accession protocol with NATO on 9 July 2008. The Albanian writer and former dissident Fatos Lubonja says NATO is signing a pact with 'a country lacking moral leadership'. He describes Albania as a traumatised childish society and adds: 'The old communist rulers are still in charge.'
