A report detailing the Administrative-Territorial Reform 2.0, prepared by the Parliamentary Commission and submitted to Parliament by socialist deputies, outlines the ethnic composition of the population in Albania. According to the findings, out of the 2,402,113 residents registered in the country, the majority—2,186,917 individuals—have declared Albanian ethnic affiliation. The report also provides data on members of various national minorities, totaling over 65,000 people.
The Greek community constitutes the largest minority group with 23,485 residents. Following this, the Egyptian community is recorded with 12,375 individuals. Other significant groups detailed include the Roma (9,813), Bulgarians (7,057), Bosniaks (2,963), Arumun (2,459), Macedonians (2,281), Serbs (584), and Malasezh (511).
The demographic breakdown also highlights gaps in data collection. A substantial number, 134,451 people, do not have available data regarding their ethnic affiliation. Furthermore, 13,507 individuals have indicated a specific status regarding their registration, though the original text leaves this category incomplete.
These figures are crucial for understanding the current territorial demographic landscape as the country plans for administrative adjustments. The comprehensive data serves as a foundational document for policy discussions concerning national integration and minority rights within Albania.
