Districts of Albania
The 36 districts of Albania are former administrative units . The Albanian name for circle is Rreth / i (plural Rrethe ). Two to four circles each formed a qark . The circles were again divided into parishes ( bashkia ) .
All local administrative tasks are now carried out by the 61 municipalities or, at a higher level, by the Qark authorities. Some of the Qarqe have local offices in the individual counties.
history
Although the districts were relieved of their governmental and administrative tasks in 2000, they were still provided for in the law as a territorial unit until summer 2014 and were ubiquitous in everyday life in Albania. In contrast to the higher-level Qarqe, the districts correspond to the traditional regions (for example Mirdita, Dibra, Mat, Has, Tropoja, Kolonja, Skrapar) or the cities with their traditional catchment area (for example Tirana, Elbasan, Librazhd, Gramsh, Gjirokastra) . The license plates , statistical breakdowns and the ISO 3166-2 codes for Albania were also long divided into districts.
The administrative structure of Albania changed again and again over time. In between there were prefectures and sub-prefectures and also counties in varying numbers. In 1992 the structure was increased from 26 to 36 districts.
