Toskové a Gegové v Albánii a etnické cítění albánských komunit v okolních státech
Abstract
The paper has two main goals. The first one is to describe Tosks and Ghegs in Albania, their situation from the past till nowadays. The thesis will focus on comparing the two main ethnic groups in the plane of historical, political, religious and cultural. Bachelor thesis will be based both from literature and from testimony of the respondents from the northern, southern and central part of Albania. The aim of the introduction of practical part is to determine whether it is possible to perceive social tensions between Tosks and Ghegs, or whether this division is no longer so important, and it is rather a construct. The second issue is to compare the Albanians In the wider regional level. The aim is to determinate whether the Albanians communities in the neighbouring countries (especially Albanians minority in the Republic of Macedonia) of Albania creates a homogeneous nation of Albanians or if it consists of separate units without the feeling of belonging wider.
