Topic: Himara

	[No title]
		From this standpoint, Himara represents a curious anachronism, as a present memory from epochs when the Balkan peninsula was part of multi-ethnic empires, and nationalities were more choices and necessities, and had to harshly compete with religion(s) as well.
		Himara is hardly a member of this group.
		Himara's deliberate choice to be part of a minority isn't due at all to religious motives, for the Albanian Orthodox church in the south is in good health, and, however, under no Muslim pressure or persecution.

		Himara’s major trade relations have been with Corfu, and, because of its location, state television does not reach the town, nor are there any telephones except for mobile phones linked to the Greek system.
		Many of Himara’s residents work in Greece and, because of trading and television, the Greek language is often heard there, even though it is not one of those areas of southern Albania with a significant Greek minority.
		On October 1, no candidate garnered 50 percent of the Himara mayoral vote, so a runoff was scheduled between SP’s candidate and the candidate of the Human Rights Union Party (HRUP); in the first round, the two parties had received 1,059 and 1,271 votes respectively (out of a total of 3,440).
