(Council for Mutual Economic
Assistance)

under the CPA rule.
• Albania Government challenge was to be recognized in the
international area.
• Yugoslavia was the first with which Albania established
diplomatic relationship and between two countries was signed
the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation.
•According to the author Mr. William Griffith the Soviet –
Yugoslav crisis had direct and drastic repercussion in Albania
Labor Party of Albania followed strictly all the meetings, but
the situation changed in ‘60s.
In CPA’s opinion the policy followed by CMEA has been
violating the basic principles.

country couldn’t continue to be part of it
