In early October 2011, the Albanian government announced that a census would be conducted throughout the country, which would tally the exact number of ethnic minorities for the first time after 1989.<ref name=ethnos/><ref name="barjaba">{{cite web|url=http://www.watsoninstitute.org/bjwa/archive/11.1/Essays/Barjarba.pdf|author=Kosta Barjarba|title=Migration and Ethnicity in Albania: Synergies and Interdependencies|access-date=2013-10-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114034650/http://www.watsoninstitute.org/bjwa/archive/11.1/Essays/Barjarba.pdf|archive-date=2012-11-14|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, after a proposal by the PDIU, the Albanian parliament changed the Census law, establishing a fine of $1,000 to every citizen that declares an ethnicity different from what was written down on his or her birth certificate. This applies even if the certificate was written during the communist era before 1989,<ref name="ethnos">{{cite web|title=Με αποχή απαντά η μειονότητα στην επιχείρηση αφανισμού της|url=http://www.ethnos.gr/article.asp?catid=22769&subid=2&pubid=63399185|publisher=ethnos.gr|access-date=27 September 2011}}</ref><ref name="protothema">{{cite web|title=Αντιδρώντας στις μεθοδεύσεις Μπερίσα και Τσάμηδων Αλβανία: Μποϊκοτάρει την απογραφή η ελληνική μειονότητα|url=http://www.protothema.gr/politics/article/?aid=150021|publisher=protothema.gr|access-date=17 October 2011}}</ref><ref name="kathimerini">{{cite web|last=Τζιμα|first=Σταυρου|title=Η ελληνική ομογένεια απέχει από την απογραφή στην Αλβανία|url=http://news.kathimerini.gr/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_2_01/10/2011_457957|publisher=kathimerini|access-date=17 October 2011|archive-date=22 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131022090901/http://news.kathimerini.gr/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_2_01/10/2011_457957|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Ανησυχίες της ελληνικής μειονότητας της Αλβανίας για την απογραφή πληθυσμού|url=http://www.enet.gr/?i=news.el.article&id=300806|publisher=enet.gr|access-date=27 September 2011}}</ref> where ethnic minorities were pressured to renounce their minority status.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bos|first=Roeland|title=Mission report on the situation of the Greek minority in Albania|year=1994|publisher=Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization|page=9|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Mz5DAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Under+the+Hoxha+regime+gross+violations+of+human+rights+were+committed+against+all+population+groups+in+Albania.+The+Greek+minority+suffered+especially+from+the+religious+persecution+and+the+denial+of+their+national+and+cultural+identity.%22|access-date=19 October 2013|quote=Under the Hoxha regime gross violations of human rights were committed against all population groups in Albania.

Because of these developments, organizations that represent five minority groups in Albania decided unanimously to boycott the upcoming census.<ref name="protothema"/><ref name=kathimerini/> On the other hand, the PDIU, claimed that this decision was a national victory, prohibiting that way a part of local citizens (according to PDIU also non-Greek) to register as Greeks.<ref>{{citation|access-date=2013-10-18
