	Albania - ALBANIA'S COMMUNIST PARTY
		Known from 1941 to 1948 as the Albanian Communist Party, from November 1948 as the Albanian Party of Labor (APL), and from June 1991 as the Socialist Party of Albania (SPA), the communist party was organized along lines similar to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
		According to the Article 3 of the constitution, the party is the "leading political force of the state and of the society." The party was organized on the principle of democratic centralism, under which the minority had to submit to the majority and could not express disagreement after a vote.
		The Ninth Party Congress of the APL was convened in November 1986, with 1,628 delegates in attendance.

		Albania was approved as a member of the World Trade Organization in July 2000 after five years of negotiation, and in the local elections that autumn, the Socialist Party of Albania (PSS) won most seats, ending the domination of local councils by the opposition Democratic Party.

		Although splinter parties in post-communist Albania have a poor electoral record, Mr Meta has national name recognition and a strong base of support in the south of the country, and (despite having already served as prime minister) is from a younger generation than Mr Nano and Sali Berisha, the leader of the DPA.
		Mr Meta hopes to appeal to SPA voters who are disillusioned with Mr Nano's government, and to the expanding pool of undecided voters who do not identify with either the SPA or the opposition Democratic Party of Albania (DPA), which between them have dominated the political scene in post-communist Albania.
		In arguably its strongest criticism of Albania to date, the EU made it clear that the current rate of progress was insufficient, and that failure to conduct a parliamentary election in 2005 that is fully compliant with international standards would represent a serious setback in Albania's relationship with the EU.

		By Tom Hughes in Skopje (BCR No. 155, 11-July-00) The ruling coalition partner, the Democratic Party of Albanians, DPA, led by the popular Arben Xhaferi, is riding high in the polls, but may soon face a concerted challenge from one of its main rivals.
		He has sought to strike a balance in his relations with them, but is rumoured to be closest to the Democratic Party of Kosovo and Socialist Party of Albania.
		Another point of DPA weakness is the party's supposed failure to curtail police brutality against ethnic Albanian communities following the shooting of three ethnic Macedonia police officers in Aracinovo at the beginning of the year.
