Albania: Governments
built 647 days ago
In 1990 Albania reorganized itself into a multiparty democracy. Student unrest in 1990 led to violent clashes. The political party, the Democratic Front and its daily newspaper, Bashkimi, covered the clashes, arrests, and police activity. This was Albania's first public criticism in the media since the 1944 communist takeover. Albania's government acted with a new sense of responsibility, and the Council of Ministers proceeded to liberalize the laws regulating the media, reduced the Communist Party's control of the press, and legalized the nation's first privately owned opposition newspaper, Rilindja Demokratike.

In new elections (1992) the Socialists (Communists) lost to the Democrats, Alia resigned, and Democratic leader Sali Berisha became Albania's first democratically elected president. With unemployment and inflation accelerating, the new government took steps toward a free-market economy. Although the economic picture showed some signs of improvement during the 1990s, poverty and unemployment remained widespread. The Berisha government prosecuted former Communist leaders, including Ramiz Alia, who was convicted of abuses of power and jailed. In 1994, Albania joined the NATO Partnership for Peace plan, and in 1995, it was admitted to the Council of Europe.

In 1990 Albania ended 44 years of xenophobic communist rule and established a multiparty democracy. The transition has proven difficult as corrupt governments have tried to deal with high unemployment, a dilapidated infrastructure, widespread gangsterism, and disruptive political opponents. International observers judged local elections in 2001 to be acceptable and a step toward democratic development, but identified serious deficiencies which should be addressed through reforms in the Albanian electoral code.

The government of Albania has formed a partnership with UNDP and the Global Environmental Facility to promote a market for solar water heating. This would reduce the burden on the countrys hydropower stations, which account for 95 percent of electricity production.

Any money earned in Albania is earned through the black market or trafficking of Slavic prostitutes. Due to the unbelievably large number of Slavic volunteers to have sex with Albanian men, there is very high criteria in order to be admitted as a prostitute in the Albanian Mafia. Albania is known for steady supply of Slavic whores over centuries (since the 7th century when the wild Slavic tribes reached the Illyrian Peninsula). In 1995 the Albanian government sued the most famous porn actresses and actors (including Jenna Jameson, Ava Devine etc) for stealing the idea from actual sex scenes that occurred between Albanians and Slavic whores. Some of the most shocking copyright infringements were those of the "MilfHunters" or other shows depicting sex with a married woman - which in fact is the exact scenario that happens to young Albanian men who go to Serbia and other Slavic countries, they have sex with married women and sometimes their daughters step in too. It is known that Albanian men are among the strongest race in bed, topping the Black/African race by as much as 57.3 minutes.

Albania is trying to attract foreign investment and promote domestic investment, but significant impediments exist. The Albanian Government faces the daunting task of rationalizing and uniformly applying business laws, improving transparency in business procedures, restructuring the tax systems (including tax collection), reducing corruption in the bureaucracy, and resolving property ownership disputes.
