Albania

Albania is a small country in Southeastern Europe located on the Balkan Peninsula, bordered by Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Greece, with a coastline along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. It has a rich history influenced by Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires. The country is known for its stunning mountains, Mediterranean beaches, and cultural heritage. Albania transitioned from a communist state to a parliamentary democracy in the early 1990s and is now working towards European Union integration. The economy relies on agriculture, tourism, and mining, and its population is primarily Albanian-speaking with a mix of religious traditions.
