Two albanian border soldiers was killed during sleping , three was wounded.
Albanian authorities alleged that the perpetrators were dressed in Greek military uniforms and were speaking Greek, and blamed the attack on "the Greek special forces." In Greece, Liberati"Northern Epirus on Front" (MAVI) claimed responsibility both the next day and some months later.
Stohos, an extreme right, racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic and intolerant weekly newspaper, regularly reported in a proud way about the incident. On the other hand, the Greek government flatly denied any responsibility in the event and, in the first couple of days, even excluded the possibility that any Greeks could have been involved in the incident.
Tirana blamed Athens for the incident, but Athens flatly denied any involvement.

 
The Greek government has denounced Albania's anti-Greek

campgn following the Episkopi incident.
