TIRANA, Oct 22 – Three Albanians were shot by Greek border policemen while they were trying to illegally cross the border and enter the southern neighbor.
Greek police considered them as drug traffickers though that was not based on proof, according to the local media.
One of the Albanians was injured and declined the Greek version of clashing with police. He was taken to the Iannina hospital.
The two others are jailed.
