Many people accused the Archbishop of Albania, Anastasios and characterized him as a: “Secret agent of the Greek chauvinism in Albania”, “soldier of fortune”, “conspirator”, or “ fighter of Greek interests”. Others said that he is illegal and he must have already left.
There are many who have turned against Archbishop Anastasios, despite his 20 year presence in the Archdiocese and his strong efforts to reconstruct the Albanian Orthodox Church. Additionally, Archbishop Anastasios was internationally recognized as the best ambassador of Albanian interests. “My only sin is that I am Greek”, says the Archbishop, to those who do not want to remember that a Greek prelate contributed to the rebirth of the Orthodox Church of Albania.
