The Protocol ofCorfu, signed on May 17, 1914, was an agreement between representativesof the Albanian Government and the Provisional Government of NorthernEpirus, which officially recognized the area of Northern Epirus as anautonomous region within the Albanian state. The protocol granted to theGreeks of the two southern districts of Albania which form NorthernEpirus wider religious, educational, cultural and political autonomy.However the protocol's terms were never implemented because of thepolitically unstable situation following the outbreak of World War Iand after the final cession of the region to Albania in 1921, it wastotally ignored.
