 | | Fatos Nano, chairman of the Socialist Party since its establishment on 13 June 1991, ruled the Albanian government after the elections of June 29, 1997, when his party and the allies of the left center coalition had a landslide victory. |
 | | In 1993, considering the risk approaching to them, DP and former President Berisha accused the opposition leader, Fatos Nano, of "corruption and misappropriation of funds, granted by the Italian government," and in July 30, 1993 Nano was imprisoned and was later sentenced with 13 years in jail. |
 | | Nano resigned as Chairman of the Council of Ministers late on Monday, easing in someway the Albanian political atmosphere, as he is reported to have said, after the recent shocking events, sparked by the murder of lawmaker Hajdari and which led to acts of violence and vandalism. |
