ShefqetBejVerlaci (December 15, 1877, Elbasan, Albania – July 21, 1946, Zürich, Switzerland) was Prime Minister of Albania in 1924 and during the Italian occupation from 1939 to 1941.
In early 1924, Zogu was forced to cede his position of Prime Minister to Verlaci, because of a financial scandal and an attempt of assassination in which Zogu was injured.
Verlaci remained at the head of the government until December 4 (other sources cite November 10 or December 3), 1941.

Xhemil Bej Dino (born in 1894) was an Albanian diplomat.
He was a delegate from Albania to the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Assembly of the League of Nations (1925—1927).
During the Italian occupation, he was the Foreign Minister of Albania in ShefqetVerlaci's government from April 12, 1939, until the Ministry was abolished and the foreign affairs were taken over by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on June 3, 1939.
The major conservative party, the Progressive Party, attracted some northern clan chiefs and prominent Muslim landholders of southern Albania whose main platform was firm opposition to any agricultural reform program that would transfer their lands to the peasantry.
Zogu soon stepped aside, however, handing over the premiership to Verlaci in the wake of a financial scandal and an assassination attempt by a young radical that left Zogu wounded.
Soon after his coronation, Zog broke off his engagement to ShefqetVerlaci's daughter, and Verlaci withdrew his support for the king and began plotting against him.
