of hashish; increasing number of heroin-processing laboratories
being set up in the country; major political factions in the country
profit from drug trade

Albania:
increasingly active transshipment point for Southwest Asian

American cocaine destined for Western Europe

Azerbaijan:
limited illicit cultivation of cannabis and opium poppy,
mostly for CIS consumption; limited government eradication program;
