That this House notes that it is 100 years since Albania declared independence from the Ottomann Empire; recognises the desires of Albanians resident in Britain to help build a more democratic Albanian state; acknowledges that the ability to vote plays a vital role in assisting with this; regrets that British-based Albanians are currently unable to vote in Albanian elections, unlike Albanians in countries such as Kosovo and Macedonia; and calls on the Government to support the cause of British-Albanians in securing the right to vote in Albanian elections in order to ensure the democratic equality of all Albanians regardless of geographical location.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
