Wozu braucht man so viele Soldaten wenn Albanien eh keine Kriege führt? Zur Verteidigung steht eh die NATO als Partner beiseite. Das Geld könnte mal besser investieren. Z.B in Bildung, Energieversorgung, Müllentsorgung bzw. recycling usw.

Man sollte sich nicht nur auf andere verlassen, du scheinst vergessen zu haben dass wir auf dem Balkan sind, dort ist nie was unwarscheinlich.
Österreich ungarn hat uns auch unterstützt, aber die Belagerten den norden Albaniens im 1 WK, mit Italien hatten wir auch einen pakt, aber niemand wusste dass Mussolini durchdreht und uns angreift.
Man braucht halt ein starkes militär für den notfall.

man kann nie wissen wann der krieg ausbricht...
und es ist nie verkehrt geld dafür zu invistieren
Hab heute zufällig ein Video gesehen, kann mich nicht mehr erinnern welches es war, da sagte ein serbischer Politiker: in Kürze wird es wieder auf den Balkan ein Krieg geben, in dem Albaner und Türken gegen Serben, Griechen und Bulgaren kämpfen dann kommt Mazedonien und Bosnien dazu.

[h=1]Albania: hundreds fall ill after harvesting cannabis[/h] Hospital in the southern city of Gjirokastër say 700 people sought treatment for effects of handling cannabis since June

Doctors in Albania say hundreds of people have fallen ill from harvesting cannabis in a lawless region that for years has been out of bounds to police, local media reported on Friday.
The hospital in the southern city of Gjirokastër said 700 people had sought treatment since June for the effects of planting, harvesting, pressing and packing the cannabis in the village of Lazarat.
"In the last two months about seven to eight people arrive in the emergency ward each day and many more have come earlier with disorders from hashish," Hysni Lluka, a Gjirokastër doctor, told Top Channel television.
Some 2,000 people, including poor Roma who have set up a camp near Lazarat, have been working for months in the cannabis fields, where producers pay €8 per 10 kilos of processed drug.
The illegal practice has flourished in Lazarat over two decades of turbulent transition in Albania since the end of hardline communist rule. Lazarat has become a byword for lawlessness in Albania, with cannabis growers brazen enough to shoot at police officers who venture near their fields. Aerial pictures suggest some 60 hectares have been cultivated in Lazarat, with 300,000 cannabis plants, capable of yielding 500 tonnes or half the total cannabis production in Albania.
Lluka said women and teenagers, who account for some 40% of those working in Lazarat, had sought help for bouts of vomiting, stomach pain, irregular heartbeats and high blood pressure. Last week one patient came in a critical state. Lazarat is a stronghold of the Democratic party, which was in power for eight years before losing a June election to the Socialist party. The Democrats promised to tackle Albania's cannabis problem but police shied away from striking Lazarat.
Artan Didi, the new director of police appointed by the Socialists, has said the police will no longer "back down to Lazarat".
The US State Department's international narcotics control report for 2013 listed Albania as a transit and destination country for cannabis, heroin and cocaine.
Authorities seized more than 21 tonnes of cannabis in 2012, double the amount of the previous year, it said, although that could reflect increased production.
