Albania, offilicially Republika e Shqipërisë (the Albanian Republic) is a Parlimentary Democracy sited on the Adriatic and Ionian Seas in Southern Europe. The capital (and largest city) is Tirana and the official language is Albanian (an independent branch of the Indo-European language family). The original inhabitants of Albania were the Illyrians. In the fourth centry BCE the Illyrian kingdoms fell to the Greeks then subsequently to the Romans. After the fall of Rome the Illyrians fell prey to Germanic tribes and then to Slavic peoples. By the 8th century the country was under Bulgar control, but by the 11th century had come under the control of Byzantium. However by the 13th century the country was divided and under Serb contol in the north and Venetian control in the south. However, by 1385 the entire region had come under Ottoman rule and Albania remained in Ottoman hands until independence on November 12th 1912. Albania achieved a degree of statehood after World War I, in part because of the diplomatic intercession of the United States. During the Second World War, Albania was part of the Axis powers and follwoing the war came under Communist control an the rule of Enver Hoxha and Mehmet Shehu. However, since Hoxha's death in 1985 Albania has been seeking closer ties with the west and in 1992 the Democratic Party of Albania took control of the country through democratic elections. Albania is a member of the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Council of Europe, World Trade Organisation,Organisation of the Islamic Conference, and Union for the Mediterranean. The country is expected to join NATO in 2009 and is currently in accession discussions with the European Union. Albanian cuisine is very Meditteranian in nature, the country having been influenced by the Greeks, Italy and the Ottoman Turks. Each civilization has left its mark on Albanian cuisine which is quite diverse. Lunch remains the main meal of the day and a typical meal would include a salad, meat and vegetables. Seafood is more common in the coastal regions. |
