The former president of Albania, Alfred Moisiu, turned 93 years old yesterday, December 1. Among the longest serving presidents in Albania, but also with a Presidency to be envied.
Born in December 1929, Alfred Moisiu served as president of the Republic as a consensual candidate from 2002 to 2009.
Under international pressure, the two leaders of the time, Fatos Nano and Sali Berisha, decided to elect him as a consensual candidate for president, after the end of Rexhep Meidani's mandate.
His 5 years as president were accompanied by strong political debates, and everyone from analysts and politicians in Albania thinks that he was the strongest president in the history of the Albanian transition.
The achievement of the agreement of the political parties for the local elections of 2003 will be remembered for a long time in Albanian political history, when for three days in a row, until the signing of the document, Moisiu kept the leaders of the political parties trapped in his office in the Presidency. .
