Communes (Albanian: komunaorkomunat), officially known as administrative units (njësite administrative) or units of local administration, government, or governance (njësite të qeverisjes vendore) since 2015, are the 373 third-level administrative divisionsofAlbania which serve as its local government. There are 12 counties and 61 municipalities above the administrative units and 2,972 villages below them.

History[edit]

The current division of Albania in 373 administrative units was enacted in 2014 and carried out in June 2015.[1][2][3][4][5]

Albania has adjusted its internal organization 21 times since its Declaration of Independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912. Immediately prior to the most recent reforms, the 308 or 309 communes were rural municipalities which served as second-level divisions of the country outside of its cities. They now serve as the level of local government across the country, each under the authority of the nearest urban center and each overseeing any nearby villages. Because of their intermediate status between the cities and villages, the communes are also sometimes known in English translation as towns.
