Albanians to Elect New Mayor in Himara Amid Controversy and Diplomatic Tensions with Greece
QEPARO, Albania — Voters in Himara, a southwestern town in Albania with a significant ethnic Greek population, will cast their ballots for a new mayor on Sunday. This election follows the removal and imprisonment of the previous mayor, Fredi Beleri, who was convicted of vote-buying in a case he and Greece claim is politically motivated.
