Abstract

The legal system during communism is understandable in Albania only if we study its legal

institutions and development. In this context, a chronological presentation is needed, based

mainlyontheworkofKrisaBallanca LuarasiGjikaElezi OmariBroziGjilani In

this framework, the analysis of this manuscript is closely related to the pre communism situ-

ation, not only in the frame of history of property law, but also institutions and content they

had during the communism era. Main purpose of this article is the analysis of property- and

commercial law in Albania, in the context of the consequences they brought in the transforma-

tion process of Albania with the fall of Communism and establishment of democracy.

Keywords: History, development, property law, commercial law, Albania.
