Religious worship was banned in Albania until the transition from Stalinist state to democracy in the 1990s. Islam is now openly recognised as the country's major religion and most Albanians are Sunni Muslim by virtue of the nation's history: The Balkans has had centuries of association with the faith as many parts of it were part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.

Subsequent leaked emails revealed the cozy ties between [[George Soros]] and former [[U.S. Secretary of State]] [[Hillary Clinton]], including one email where Soros directed Clinton’s policy with respect to unrest in Albania, telling her that “two things need to be done urgently,” which were to “bring the full weight of the international community to bear on Prime Minister Berisha” and “appoint a senior European official as mediator.”<ref>https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/29008</ref> Both “urgent” tasks were subsequently performed by Clinton.
