Easter Exodus: Over 10,000 Albanians Flood into Homeland from Greece – Border Points Face Holiday Surge
In the last 48 hours, Albania has witnessed a massive wave of returning emigrants from Greece. More than 10,000 Albanian citizens crossed into the country through the Kapshtica border point, taking advantage of the Easter holiday break to reunite with family and loved ones.
Authorities at the border are on full alert, managing the flow with six active checkpoints in Kapshtica, while similar measures are in place at Kristapologji, where a high influx has been reported but no major delays have occurred thanks to effective coordination.
The Albanian border police are working closely with their Greek counterparts to streamline the crossing process. Fast-track clearance has been applied for those holding valid Greek residence or travel documents.
Field reports suggest the number of returnees may increase significantly in the coming hours, as Easter remains a key moment for many Albanians living abroad to reconnect with their roots.
The Easter season is not just a religious celebration—but a cultural homecoming that transforms Albania’s border points into emotional gateways of family reunion.
