Albania is to auction off some 40 military aircraft and helicopters that date back to the communist era.
The defence ministry said the aircraft, all of it made by the Soviet Union or China, would go under auction in the capital Tirana on 22 February. The ministry said all the aircraft would be of "historic" value only, and "for a civilian purpose".
Various museums and private collectors had expressed an interest, a ministry spokeswoman told the AFP news agency.
Politicians in the Balkans frequently accuse the EU of double standards in its dealings with the region. Do they have a point?
In the months-long protests in Serbia, those marching every weekend are not all demonstrating for purely political reasons – but also to raise their voices over other burning everyday problems.
