UGLE Withdraws Recognition of GL of Albania

On June 13th, the following statement was issued by the United Grand Lodge of England:

13 JUNE 2018
STATEMENT REGARDING THE GRAND LODGE OF ALBANIA
MW Pro Grand Master and Brethren,
At the March Quarterly Communication a proposition was put to this Grand Lodge and agreed that relations with the Grand Lodge of Albania be suspended because of the actions taken in Kosovo which we regard as an invasion of Serbian territory. Having looked further into the action of the Grand Lodge of Albania and taken into consideration the upset that this invasion has caused for sister Grand Lodges in the region, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of this Grand Lodge to withdraw recognition of the Grand Lodge of Albania.
I therefore move the resolution standing in my name at item 9 of the Paper of Business 'That recognition be withdrawn from the Grand Lodge of Albania'.
Derek DinsmoreGrand Chancellor

The Grand Lodge subsequently voted to approve the motion that recognition be withdrawn from the Grand Lodge of Albania with immediate effect.
