Support for Mine Action
In 2009, the Republic of Albania declared that it had completed clearance of all known mined areas in accordance with its Mine Ban Treaty obligations; it is no longer thought to be affected by cluster munition remnants.[1] In 2012, Albania received some international assistance for victim assistance.
In 2012, Austria provided €125,000 (US$160,738) for victim assistance through the ITF Enhancing Human Security to Handicap International and the Albanian Red Cross.[2]
