On the eve of the Albanian holiday, leaders of the five cities in the region in Tirana have founded the Union.

Tirana, Pristina, Preševo, Tetovo and Ulcinj formed the Union of Municipalities in the region a day before the Albanian flag, the day when Albania proclaimed the independence. Therefore, the move many interpret as the first step in the concrete action of creating a "Greater Albania".

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has commented on the creation on Monday of the Union of Albanian Municipalities.

This union includes Tirana, Pristina, Tetovo, Ulcinj, and Presevo.
