Could be that Albania has a unique Muslim majority in Europe so it would be more sympathetic to other Muslims, in this case refugees from Iran?

Bosnia is also majority muslim.

Also, consider that a quarter (half?) of Albanians and Kosovaars have left for Germany and other places in non-muslim Europe and are fairly well integrated.

How is it that the MEK prefers Albania when Albanians themselves prefer to leave?

What's unique about Albania is not that they are muslim, but the stratospheric corruption of the country. Its makes the country a very useful dumping ground for certain problems NATO encounters (chemical weapons, laundering, terrorists)
