Description
A census in Albania has opened up a new front in the long-running row between Balkan neighbours Bulgaria and North Macedonia. Both claim Albania's dwindling Macedonian minority as their own. The tug-of-war over identity is something of an unequal fight, say locals, with those who opt to become Bulgarian getting a prized EU passport. "The passport has been used to deconstruct Macedonian identity here and to present Macedonians as Bulgarians," Eftim Mitrovski, editor of a Macedonian-language newspaper tells AFP.
