Albania Communes

Communes of Albania

An administrative reform took place in 2015. The communes (komuna) were abolished and absorbed by the municipalities (bashkia), along with a few mergers or splits, resulting in 61 municipalities subordinate to the counties.

HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. Population: 2011-10-01 census.

Change history:

The list below is based on the SALB project, http://www3.who.int/whosis/gis/salb/salb_coding.htm (dead link) The spellings in the table are the ones I judged most likely to be correct. Duplicate names are usually followed by the district name in parentheses; this accords with Albanian practice. Some alternate spellings are shown under Other names of subdivisions.

As of the 2011 census, Albania was divided into 308 komuna (communes) and 65 bashkia (municipalities), as shown in this table. The first four letters of the HASC code can be used to identify the county to which a commune belongs. I also list the old district that each commune belonged to, since the districts had not dropped out of use as they were intended to.

~2000: Klenje commune was renamed Trebisht. A map of Albania dated 2005-06-20 shows all of the communes listed below except for Qender (Mallakaster). http://www.osce.org/documents/pia/2005/06/15252_en.pdf (dead link).
~2003: Barbullush commune (former HASC code AL.SD.BA, 2001 population 3,821) merged with Bushat (AL.SD.BU, 13,465) in Shkodër district, judging from a comparison between the 2001 census and the 2005 map.
2013-03-18: Name of Liqenas commune changed to Pustec.

Type: k = komuna; b = bashkia HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. District: ISO district codes (for key, see Counties of Albania page, under Change history: 1999) Pop-2011: 2011-10-01 census. Pop-2001: 2001-04-01 census. Data provided by Mario Pezza. Present: Municipality after reform.

2015-06: Administrative reform replaced the 308 communes and 65 municipalities with 61 municipalities. The table above, in the "Present" column, shows which new municipality contains each of the old communes or municipalities.

Other names of subdivisions:

It is quite common for diacritical marks to be dropped (e for ë, c for ç), hyphens to be used in compound names, and the parenthetical distinctives to be omitted. The following list contains variant spellings that I have observed that aren't accounted for by any of those processes.
