Cannabis plantations appear in southern Albania

After the fall of communism, criminal groups from Greece began setting up plantations near the border. By 1995 gunfights between farmers and police were reported to be common, and in the middle of the 2000s 77% of the cannabis found in Italy was said to come from Albania.[1]
