Tha an riaghaltas Alb脿inianach聽ag r脿dh gu bheil iad cha mh貌r air cuir 脿s dha coirbteachd, gu bheil cion-cosnaidh a' tuiteam agus an 脿ireamh a th' ann an cosnadh ag 猫irigh. Ach leis na tha air c霉l a chur ri Alb脿inia tha a-nis gainnead luchd-obrach ann. Tha boillsgidhean d貌chais ann cuideachd ge-t脿, nam measg tha acadamaidh ball-basgaid agus tuathanas le taigh-貌sta.

Albanians seeking asylum in the UK
The Albanian government are saying they have almost eliminated corruption, that unemployment is falling and the number of people in work is rising. But given the number of people who have emigrated there is now a shortage of workers. There are however glimmers of hope, such as a basketball academy and an agrotourism business. In one area of Albania the UK is also funding a scheme which teaches new skills to young people and corrects the perception that people can become rich quickly in Britain.
