Having lived just on the other side of the border let me shed some light on the "bad neighbour" comments. Greece was on the other side of the iron curtain compared to Albania, there was a -declared- state of war between the two countries until the mid eighties (1986 I think) and there is a significant Greek minority in the Albanian South. The three combined created a particularly bad climate between the countries. That has changed drastically - at least south of the border. In 2019 Greece indeed sent troups to Albania after an earthquake and an invitation, but it was not for war - they tried to help and set up their field kitchens to provide food for some time. I cannot account for the feelings of the Albanians but I can certainly say that most Greeks harbor no ill feelings for them :)
