History

On 2 October 1998, to meet the increased workload in the process of accession of Albania to the European Union and NATO, the Majko I Government , appointed to the Council of Ministers Maqo Lakrori as Secretary of State for Euro-Atlantic Integration.[1] Lakrori stayed in office until October 25, 1999.

With the return of Pandeli Majko as Prime Minister on 22 February 2002, was established the Ministry of Euro-Atlantic Integration. As minister was appointed Marko Bello.[2]

Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of European Integration has been reorganized by merging with other ministries, thus making its name change several times. This list reflects the changes made since 2002:

  • Ministry of Euro-Atlantic Integration (Ministria e Integrimit Euroatlantik) from 2002 to 2005
  • Ministry of Integration (Ministria e Integrimit) from 2005 to 2013
  • Ministry of European Integration (Ministria e Integrimit Europian) from 2013 to 2017 (dissolved)

The ministry was dissolved in September 2017. The department of integration was merged with the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.

gollark: I vote four dimensional because then we get to say "political octachoron".
gollark: There are political axes and compasses and hypercubes and such, and while none (well, except ridiculous ones) can actually capture your political views entirely accurately, some are *useful*.
gollark: China didn't exactly *help* things by covering it up initially, but America was/is definitely not doing great either.
gollark: The UK is at least taking it somewhat seriously, if not actually handling it that well.
