Facts
GEOGRAPHY: Albania consists of mostly hilly and mountainous terrain, the highest mountain, Korab in the
district of Dibra reaching up to 2,753 metres (9,032 ft). The country mostly has a continental climate, with cold
winters and hot summers. Besides the capital city of Tirana, with 800,000 inhabitants, the principal cities are
Durrës, Elbasan, Shkodër, Gjirokastër, Vlorë, Korçë and Kukës. In Albanian grammar a word can have indefinite
and definite forms, and this also applies to city names: so both Tiranë and Tirana, Shkodër and Shkodra are
used.
POLITICS: Politics of Albania take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic,
whereby the Prime Minister is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is
exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and parliament, the Assembly
of the Republic of Albania (Kuvendi i Republikës së Shqipërisë). Since 1991, the introduction of pluralism, the
party system is dominated by the conservative Democratic Party of Albania and the socialist (post-communist)
Socialist Party of Albania.
HISTORY: The earlier inhabitants were part of the population that occupied the coastline of most parts of the
Mediterranean. Their physical remains are scarce though, and concentrated on the coastal region. Shortly after,
the first inhabitants were overrun by the Proto-Hellenic tribes that gradually occupied modern-day Greece. The
southern parts of this region are now the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the south of present-day
Albania. This process was completed over the second millennium BCE and did not really affect northern or
central Albania, an area that at the time presented the image of a political vacuum (in essence a historical
paradox).
Since 1990 Albania has been diplomatically oriented towards the West - it was accepted to the Council of
Europe and has requested membership in NATO. The work-force of Albania has continued to migrate to Greece,
Italy, Germany and other parts of Europe, and North America
