The Protocol of Corfu (Greek: Πρωτόκολλο της Κέρκυρας, Albanian: Protokolli i Korfuzit), signed on May 17, 1914, was an agreement between the representatives of the Albanian Government and the Provisional Government of Northern Epirus, which officially recognized the area of Northern Epirus as an autonomous self-governing region under the sovereignty of the prince of the newly established Principality of Albania. This agreement, granted to the Greeks of the districts of Korytsa and Argyrokastro, which form Northern Epirus, wider religious, educational, cultural and political autonomy, inside the borders of the Albanian state.

After the end of the Balkan Wars (1912–1913), the subsequent peace treaties ceded the region to Albania. This turn of events catalyzed an uprising among the local Greeks which lead to the Northern Epirote Declaration of Independence, at February 28, 1914. Finally on May 17, the International Commission of Control, an organization responsible to secure peace and stability in the area, intervened and the Protocol of Corfu was signed. However the protocol’s terms were never implemented because of the politically unstable situation following the outbreak of World War I and it was eventually annulled in 1921 in the Conference of Ambassadors.

Dave Pearce is a British dance DJ and record producer, who has played gigs across the UK and the world, although he is perhaps best known for his work in radio. He formerly presented the long-running Dance Anthems show on BBC Radio 1, which was for most of its time aired on early Sunday evenings before moving to late Friday nights in its final year. His last show on BBC Radio 1 was broadcast on Friday 26 September 2008. He has brought several sayings into the world of dance including "putting on your trance trousers" when he plays a trance record, "roll another phat one" meaning to play another great record. He is also known for his cry of "Oi Oi!" from the DJ booth. Pearce has also broadcasted on BBC Radio 6 Music. He is currently a presenter on BBC Radio 2.

He began his broadcasting career in 1981 on pirate radio station Radio Jackie, in South London, while he was still at school. He later ran his own pirate station, DDP Radio in Claygate, Surrey, together with Paul Kent (Eugene Perera), who later went on to operate a licensed station in Brighton, and Steve Collins (Stephen Benzikie) the Daily Mail journalist-turned-PR adviser. DDP was closed down prior to his joining BBC Radio London. He then worked behind the scenes at BBC Radio London, where he later took on a late Monday night show - 'A Fresh Start to the Week' - playing new club tunes. He was then one of the original presenters on BBC GLR in 1988, presenting their weekday evening show, which focused on dance, acid-house & rap. In 1990, Pearce joined London's Kiss 100, and presented the drivetime show with Gordon Mac before taking over the breakfast show from Craig Charles.
