		Leka Zogu's father, Ahmet Zogu (1895-1961), came from a patriarchal family of the Mati region in central Albania.
		In his program, Leka Zogu says he is king of the Albanians, is in favor of an Albania consisting of all regions populated by Albanians, and one of his priorities is the unification of Albania and Kosovo.
		As far as his Albanian citizenship is concerned, it appears that Leka Zogu considers himself a citizen of his Albanian kingdom, and it is not known whether he has applied for Albanian citizenship.
