The U.S. Department of State recently published its 2022 report on religious freedom in Albania, including much information about the Albanian Orthodox Church. The report notes that according to the most recent consensus, the Orthodox Church represents about 7% of the Albanian population. The government has a formal agreement with the Church, as with several other religious organizations, that recognizes it as one of the country’s main faith communities and addresses property restitution and other arrangements. However, the Church has its complaints about how well the state upholds this agreement.
