Albanian Diaspora
The Albanian Diaspora refers to the communities of Albanians living outside of Albania. This migration has occurred for various reasons, including economic opportunities, political instability, and conflicts in the region. Significant populations can be found in countries such as Greece, Italy, the United States, and Germany.
The diaspora plays a crucial role in preserving Albanian culture and identity. Many Albanians abroad maintain strong ties to their homeland through cultural events, language schools, and community organizations. Additionally, remittances from the diaspora contribute significantly to the economy of Albania, supporting families and local businesses.
