Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the current status of the Bulgarian community in Albania and the ongoing migration processes towards Bulgaria. The author takes the position that Bulgaria should be open to Bulgarians in Albania in any case and at any time, but not to press them to settle in Bulgaria at any cost. The optimal solution is to promote the circular, mainly seasonal migration of Bulgarians from Albania to Bulgaria. In this way, this population will continue to live in its native places, but it may be Bulgaria’s demographic, labor and geopolitical reserve.
