It's just a theory, but:

1) We know that Albania is a place where Voldemort and his minions have 
hidden at least twice.

2) We have reason to believe that Durmstrang is somewhere cold, mountainous, 
and secluded (Hermione's deduction from the fur cloaks and Krum's 
description of the landscape there).

Could Durmstrang be in Albania or someplace near it? This would explain the 
emphasis on the Dark Arts, Voldemort's influence on Karkaroff, and possibly 
another reason why Lucius Malfoy wanted to send Draco there.

Maybe Voldemort was hoping to build a stronghold for himself, with 
Karkaroff's help, similar to the one Dumbledore has at Hogwarts. For all we 
know, when the Durmstrang students get back home, Karkaroff will be waiting 
there for them, pretending nothing much has happened ...
