Albanian List (Montenegro)
The Albanian List (Albanian: Lista Shqiptare, LSh; Montenegrin: Албанска листа, Albanska lista, AL) was a conservative Albanian minority political alliance in Montenegro, composed of the Albanian Alternative of Nik Gjeloshaj and FORCA of Nazif Cungu. The alliance was represented with one seat in the national parliament, being MP Genci Nimanbegu, member of FORCA. The coalition was dissolved in March of 2023 when Nimanbegu refused to step up from the MP seat, as agreed previously, in order to be replaced by a representative of Albanian Alternative.[1]
