List of Presidents of the Albanian Parliament
Albania declared itself independent from the Ottoman Empire in 1912 . Eight years later, representatives of the people met for the first time in Lushnja for a congress; therefore January 28, 1920 is considered the birthday of Parliament as an institution. During this time the Kuvendi i Shqipërisë had 38 presidents. Since September 10, 2013 this has been Ilir Meta ( LSI ).
