Albania 2013 Bashny.Net

This week, I visited Albania. I must say that for myself concluded that I will not go there anymore.
The entrance to the Russians to Albania from 25 May to 25 September, without the visa. But for citizens of Ukraine and Kazakhstan without a visa to enter throughout the year. At the border, even not put a stamp in the passport, if you do not need. Some were necessary, as in Montenegro, you can relax without a visa to 30 days, and if somewhere across the border, it is 30 days for the new. In this sense, Albania and some handy for this stamp there and gone.
To enter the country is simple: the police entered the bus and looked at our passports.

The country has long been a tough totalitarian regime, and its ruler Hoxha expected attacks from all sides, and therefore there are a lot of bunkers (in every 4 residents were at the bunker)
