Yes, a CHRISTIAN Albanian, of which there are now few. I imagine the U.S. had something to do with this, as we screwed the Serbs royally to favor the former.

Supposedly 70% of Albanians are Muslims and 30% are Christians (divided between Orthodox and Catholic), but how many of those who grew up in Enver Hoxha's Albania or Tito's Yugoslavia are believers, I don't know--they were subjected to a lot of atheistic propaganda.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta was an ethnic Albanian born in Skopje, in what is now the Republic of Macedonia, but was then under Turkish rule (it would have been part of Bulgaria except for Disraeli).
