The Republic of Albania is a country in Southeastern Europe. It borders Montenegro to the north, the Serbian province of Kosovo to the northeast, the Republic of Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west and a coast on the Ionian Sea to the southwest. Albania is a potential candidate for membership in the European Union and NATO.
The name Albania is derived from the name of an Illyrian tribe called the Arbër and later Albanoi, which lived in the modern day Albania. The derivation of the name Albania is of considerable antiquity, dating back perhaps to the pre-Celtic alb (hill), from whence Alps, or possibly from the Indo-European albh (white), from whence Albino and Albanon, referring perhaps to the snow-capped mountains of Albania. The name of the country, Shqipëria, translates into English as Land of the Eagles, hence the two-headed bird on the national flag and because of the large presence of these animals in the mountainous zones of Albania.
