Begaj visits Finiq, neighboring media: the Albanian President provoked, demanded
Begaj in Finic

The Greek media have paid attention to a visit that the President of the Republic Bajram Begaj made on Wednesday to the municipality of Finic. It is known as an area inhabited by the Greek minority. The attention of the Greek media also comes because their Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is visiting these areas on Thursday. He will also be accompanied by Prime Minister Rama in Himare and Dervician.

But Begaj's visit did not go as it should. It was initially learned that there had been a change in the meeting agenda. But the Albanian Presidency did not provide any clarification. "Protothema" writes that the reason for the changes in the meetings is the presence of the Greek flag at the entrance of the municipality of Finic.

"According to the original visit program, Begaj would first visit the Municipality of Finić, where he would be officially received by the mayor Kristo Koço. However, the motorcade did not stop at the municipality. It is learned that the Albanian president was disturbed by the Greek flag that is placed in the courtyard, next to the flags of Albania and the EU", writes the Greek newspaper.

"It should be noted that the municipality of Finic is officially recognized as a "minority" by the Albanian authorities, with the right of expatriates to freely display their national symbols, to use the Greek language in the administration, etc.

The provocations continued in the central square of the minority village of Alykos, where there is a monument to the immigrants Massios, Raftis, Kotsis and Mitros, who were killed in cold blood by Albanian soldiers in December 1990 when they tried to escape to Greece. With the Presidential Decree of 1994, Albania called the 4 young people "Martyrs of Democracy".

However, their sacrifice, their memory and their national origin were not respected by the Albanian president, whose entourage asked the police not to have a Greek flag near the monument.

This action has angered the residents and school students, who had gathered in the village square to welcome the President of Albania. After this development, the mayor Kristo Kiço canceled the ceremony and there was no placing of a wreath by Begaj at the monument of the 4 emigrants", writes "Protothema".

"Officials of the Greek minority say that the Albanian president does not seem to know that in EEM municipalities - based on the law on minorities - the Greek flag must fly outside public buildings. They emphasize that Bajram Begaj "must act as a unifying institutional factor and not as a former soldier with nationalist logic" - the newspaper quotes.

"Protothema" then quotes an article on Facebook by the former president of Omonia, Leonidha Papa. He says that after the incident of the Albanian President, he refused to go to Begaj's lunch with "intellectuals" of the Greek minority
