Albanian Football Forum

I like the Tirana shirt Alban.

That shirt is made by Copa Football (Dutch brand) - I send them a message about stocking that particular shirt, but they never followed back. I'll try again.

I'll buy the Skenderbeu one. I'll also second Plako in saying you shouldn't worry much about Trademark law given the Albanian clubs are very unlikely to pursue anything.

Cool..I'll share with you guys other designs as they progress. I'll develop some Albania retro versions as well.

The asylum seeking process has spread from Kosova into Albania it seems. 3,000 people applying for political asylum in the last month alone. In 2012 it was 250 for the entire year.

For the last 5 years, Serbia and Macedonia have had the biggest asylum seekers in Europe, but 2015 looks like the year for Albanians. EU threatened to reinstate visas for Serbia and Macedonia, hopefully it doesn't come to that with Albania. Kosova won't get liberalization of visas for a long, long time after this.

They already threatened that will reinstate the visas to albania and seems that's what pushed Rama to speak about fastening EU integration to albania otherwise we unite with Kosova (backmailing works ) .

Yesterday's interview to Edi Rama about EU integration:

I find funny how Serbs were making fun of people from Kosova for asylum seeking, but by looking at these figures they've had the worst numbers out of all the European countries for years on end. The numbers were similar to Syria. Their media probably wasn't making a big deal out of it.

I don't think that ethnic Serbs have that high rate of asylum seekers , most of those asylum seekers looks like are from Sanxhak , Vojvodine and southern Serbia (moslty cigani).

I've friends who work at "prefectura di milano" and they tell me stories of people they manage during their assylum seeking process. Some should have that right for causes of blood feuds or other issues they're running from but the latest ones are mostly "cigane" .
Latest months assylum seekers were used in bad faith by travel agencies cause they will never get assylum without a good cause.

Do you remember this case : http://www.shekulli.com.al/m/post.php?i ... RMifl.dpbs

She just had her asylum approved here in Milan .

With all the migration issues Europe is having recently with Northern African refugees I see no chance of Europe allowing Albanian asylum seekers. Albanians do it because they have the networks in place to do so by having cousins living in the west, knowing people getting asylum and it's generally an easier path compared to some syrian refugees.

EU needs to do something about their border issues because it's not going to end well(Not talking about Albanians here). In 2014 around 219k migrants sailed over the Mediterranean sea and I think already 35k for 2015.. Only going to get worst with increased instability with ISIS, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups expanding.

That's bs. Maybe in Italy, but the numbers are in the tens of thousands every year. If it was a minority place, those regions would be empty by now.

On Opinion one of the guys said EU might be too distracted with North African refugees to re-install visas for Albanians. Let's hope it's true. Putting visas back there would suck.

100%. Criminal elements behind all of this.

Those stats are less than half of Italian stats for illegal migrant :

Adding greece, portugal and Spain then the EU will face bigger problems as during summer there are more boats with illegal clandestins . Italy spends 29 million € a month only for the operations in sea to save these people and that isn't enough cause the other day almost one thousand people lost their lifes.
