Balkan politics are volatile. Last week, there was a fight in Parliament. An actual physical fight between the two Albanian parties: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7014698.stm
This actually relates to my work situation. Apparently, there was one Albanian political party that was more powerful than the other, so that party got to pick the deans of some of the departments and if you knew the right people in that party, you had a good chance of advancing your career. But now the other party has more power, so they are putting their own people into the more powerful positions.
People always say that universities are political; however, my university is Political. Luckily, as a foreigner, it doesn't really affect my position at work.
