Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has announced plans to give members of the Shiite Sufi Bektashi order part of the capital Tirana to create their own enclave. The order was founded in the 13th century in Turkey but is now based in Albania. The newly formed Muslim state, with its own administration, passports and borders, which will be modeled on the Vatican, will be the smallest in the world. The territory that will be allocated for the formation of the new Islamic state is located in a cheap residential area of ​​eastern Tirana. Its area is four times smaller than the Vatican.
