The Albanian government’s plan for the property registration procedures in Himara has caused unrest and major reactions in the Ethnic Greek Minority in Albania.

The threats of Albanian nationalist groups, in the face of Konstantinos Katsifas' annual memoria servicel, were rejected by the president of the Northern Epirots Association, Babis Karathanos. The Greek expatriate has spoken of a climate of terror and a police state throughout the Northern Epirus region, while complaining that he himself has been threatened as well as other members of the minority.

New case of pillaging of a North Epirotan's residence in the village of Vagalates of the Minority Municipality of Finiki. The perpetrators this time were not satisfied just by the burglary, since they took money and other objects and then burned the home.
