Southern Albania (Albanian: Shqipëria Jugore) is one of the three NUTS-2 Regions of Albania.[2] This ethnographical territory is sometimes referred to as Toskeria (Albanian: Toskëria) which also includes the Albanian-inhabited territories of Greece (Chameria) and North Macedonia.[3]
It consists of five counties: Berat, Fier, Gjirokastër, Korçë and Vlorë. A small part of the region in Greece, the southernmost area near the Greek border, is commonly called Northern Epirus by the Greek minority.[4][5]
