Biography

Rexhep Mitrovica in the 1920s

Prime minister

After German occupation of Albania, on 6 November 1943, Berlin announced that the regents and the assembly had formed a government headed by Rexhep Mitrovica, an active member of the Balli Kombëtar from Kosovo.

With control over Kosovo and the creation of an Independent State of Albania, Mitrovica exacted revenge on the Serb colonists, killing and expelling thousands of Serbs.

On 18 July 1944 Rexhep Mitrovica resigned due to illness.
