Initiative of the New York diaspora – Fredi Beleris was declared Honorary Grand Marshal of the 5th Avenue Parade (video)
Greeks in the US sent a strong message to Albania & the US Government that they stand by the elected Mayor of Himara as well as all Greeks of Northern Epirus
The illegally appointed mayor of Himara, Gjergji Goros, has been arrested
It came after a complaint by the elected mayor of Himara Fredi Beleris - Albania hopes the presence of another member of the minority will appease Greece
The appeal of Beleris to declare his detention illegal was rejected by the Constitutional Court of Albania
The possibility of filing an appeal with the European Court of Human Rights is being considered
