Ervin Baku, Brussels correspondent for the Shekulli newspaper, writes in an article of 22 November entitled "Greece Continuing with Absurdities" that a general scepticism among EU parliamentarians was confirmed by a Greek EU parliamentarian's statement concerning Albania's democratic institutions and a Greater Albania in-the-making.

According to this article, MEP Anna Karamanou declared at a parliamentary session that the idea of a greater Albania was even part of educational programs in Albanian schools. "These Greek absurdities not only failed to receive support among the parliamentarians, but even caused an outburst of laughter. Olivier Dupuis, a Belgian deputy, declared these Greek absurdities as ridiculous," wrote Baku.
