Talk:List of Presidents of Albania
From Academic Kids
I think it is wrong to call Enver Hoxha a President of Albania. First, there was no President when Hoxha was in power. Second, the Head of State was a collegial body. Third, Hoxha never leaded that body. In the Communist Albania, as in other Communist countries since Stalin, the party leadership by the First Secretary or the Secretary General of the Central Committee was higher than the State leadership.

About the collegial bodies and their heads, and the exact dates (notice that a President starts functioning a month after his election), see:

- "a President starts functioning a month after his election" - this is not a general rule, it was only the case in 2002. Note that the site is incorrect about saying Moisiu was elected on July 24. He was elected on June 24 and took office July 24. --Wik 16:09, Aug 19, 2003 (UTC)
