The unification of Albania and Kosovo is a political idea, revived before and after Kosovo declared independence in 2008.[2] This idea has been connected to the irredentist concept of Greater Albania.[3][4][5] As of the 2021 estimate, approximately 97% of the population of Kosovo are ethnic Albanians.[6]
