Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the attitude of the Albanian communist regime towards the reform movement in Czechoslovakia and the subsequent military intervention by Warsaw Pact troops in August 1968. It examines how the Albanian leadership, led by Enver Hoxha, utilized these events to strengthen their own ideological line and foreign policy position against the Soviet Union. Based on archival materials and period press, the study explains Albania's international position in the 1960s, its break with the Soviet Union, and the formal withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact as a direct consequence of the invasion of Czechoslovakia.
