Here are Maestro Sersea’s thoughts about Albania: Albania is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Certain things must improve so that Albania may thrive. As the economy will develop as well as the energy and transportation infrastructure, the country will benefit and become more likely a part of the European Union. Unfortunately, Communism left its dark mark of political corruption in Albania, and that has to be addressed as well.
