Greek MEP Fredi Beleri recently addressed the topic of Zvernec, posting on his social media accounts regarding the situation concerning Zvernec and the Greeks of Northern Epirus. This comment prompted a response from Taulant Balla, the head of the PS parliamentary group. In a subsequent social media post, Balla asserted that the designation “Northern Epirus” has become obsolete with any effort to sustain it.
Balla directly addressed MEP Beleri, stating, “Oh Mr. MEP Beleri, Zvernec is in the state called Albania. The term Northern Epirus died with every dream people try to keep alive.
Therefore, please use the official names required by the European Parliament. As for Albania’s commitment to the rule of law, protection…”
The exchange highlights a divergence in terminology regarding the region. Beleri’s comments brought the focus to the issue of Zvernec and the Greek community in Northern Epirus.
In response, Balla utilized the platform to advocate for the use of officially recognized names, emphasizing that the region falls within the state of Albania. The differing viewpoints suggest a continued debate over geographical and historical nomenclature in the public sphere and within political discourse, with the media coverage reflecting these contrasting stances. Taulant Balla’s remarks call for adherence to established international naming conventions, while Fredi Beleri’s initial post keeps the discussion centered on the specific status of the area and its Greek population.
