Another, fuller piece regarding Albania's problem with blood feuds appeared very recently in the English version of Der Spiegel.
Other than that, I recently completed a series of "Letters from Albania" for AOL's travel blog, Gadling. The pieces are certainly not meant to be the last word on Albania -- far from it. Rather, I wanted to record my impressions and reactions to the place and try, however unsuccessfully, to connect the dots between what I saw and where the country has been and is going.
As I say, if you want pretty much the most interesting travel experience Europe has the offer right now, head to Albania. But realize there is another side to the nice sheen travel guide books like to put on the place -- and you're likely to hone in that first, I'm sorry to say.
Cheers.
