The Republic of Albania (Albanian: Shqiperia ro Republika e Shqiperise) is a Balkan country in Southeastern Europe. It borders Montenegro to the north, the southern Serbian province of Kosovo in the northeast, the Republic of Macedonia in the east, and Greece in the south. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west and a coast on the Ionian Sea to the southwest. Despite having a troubled history, the country has been classified as an emerging democracy since the 1990s.
Albania consists of mostly hilly and mountainous terrain, with the highest mountain, Korab in the district of Dibra reaching up to 2,753 metres (9,032 ft). The country mostly has a continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers. Besides the capital city of Tirana, with 800,000 inhabitants, the principal cities are Durres, Elbasan, Shkoder, Gjirokaster, Vlore, Korce and Kukes. In Albanian grammar a word can have indefinite and definite forms, and this also applies to city names: so both Tirana and Tirana are used.
Unusual among Balkan nations, indeed anywhere in the world, is that Albania is a nearly homogeneous country with only small minorities. Most of the population is ethnically Albanian (95% according to the CIA World Factbook Feb 2005). Many ethnic Albanians also live in the bordering countries of Serbia (around 2,000,000; of that, around 1,800,000 in Kosovo), Montenegro (around 60,000), and the Republic of Macedonia (around 500,000). Since 1991, large numbers of Albanians have emigrated to Greece, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and other European countries.
The dominant language is Albanian. Many Albanians are fluent in English, Greek and Italian. The Albanians are mostly non-denominational believers. Religious fanaticism has never been a problem, with people from different religious groups living in peace and even inter-marrying. Intermarriage across religions is very common, and an immensely strong sense of Albanian identity has tended to bind Albanians of all religious practice together. ( )
