What the petition asks
Ethnic Albanians are spread across the entirety of Europe and beyond, with significant populations all around the UK. Many programmes have helped the Albanian community, especially the younger generation, who would benefit from a qualification in what is considered the most unique language in Europe
Albanians have an estimated presence of 70,000-100,000 people in the UK alone. Many British Albanians/Kosovans have made a name for themselves and helped the UK become a better place; Ilir Kadia (A BBC Journalist), Rita Ora (Singer) and Dua Lipa (Singer).
