Albania, officially the Republic of Albania (Albanian Republika e Shqipërisë [ɾɛˈpublika ɛ ʃcipəˈɾiːs], or simply Shqipëria) is a country in Southeastern Europe. Albania is bordered by Kosovo to the northeast, the Republic of Macedonia to the east, Greece to the south-east, and Montenegro to the north. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west, and on the Ionian Sea to the southwest. From the Strait of Otranto, Albania is less than 100 km (60 miles) from Italy.
Albania is a parliamentary democracy that is transforming its economy into a market-oriented system. It is a candidate for membership in the European Union and is already member of NATO.[1]

Template:/box-header Apollonia in Illyria (modern Albania) was located on the right bank of the Vjose; now ruined, it is situated in the Fier region, near the village of Pojan (Pojani), geographically located at 40°43′N 19°28′E. It was founded in 588 BCE by Greek colonists from Kerkyra (Corfu) and Corinth, and was perhaps the most important of the several classical towns known as Apollonia. The site was already used by Corinthian traders and the Taulantii, an Illyrian tribe, who remained involved with the settlement for centuries, living alongside the Greek colonists. The city was said to have originally been named Gylaceia after Glyax, its founder, but the name was later changed to honour the god Apollo.
