Greek-Albanian ties, Tirana's EU bid, and the Fredi Beleri case

The Greek Current - A podcast by The Hellenic American Leadership Council

This week Albanian authorities finally moved to refer the case of Fredi Beleri, the ethnic Greek elected mayor of Himare who has been in pre-trial detention for months, to trial. The case has become a thorn in the side of Greek-Albanian relations. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis to look at how this case is testing Greek-Albanian ties, and look at why it matters if Albania hopes to move its EU membership bid forward.
