Albania
> Government Structure
Albania was until 1991 a communist country. From after World War II until his
death in 1986, Albania was ruled with an iron fist by dictator Enver Hoxha. In
1986 he was preceded by Ramiz Alia. Until 1991, the only legal party was the Party
of Labor of Albania.
In 1990 and 1991, popular protests toppled the communist regime and the first
democratic elections were held in 1991. In 1992, the second elections were held,
in which the opposition (the Democratic Party) won the majority of seats. |
