Summary/Abstract: Historically, Albania has been a place between two or more legal cultures. A prominent example may be the relationship between two great empires, Rome and Constantinople. In the Albanian lands the feudal applied justiniane law, which were referred for state reasons, but also Western institutions such as the conventions of vassalage. This has led to the Albanian lands to merge a large number of institutes or legal action. Albania in its own history, can be called a country in constant transition. This transition has affected the application of various legal systems, not always compatible and harmonious. In this article I have taken various examples taken from areas such as property, the justice system and the privatization process and the law on commercial companies to illustrate the evolution of Albanian legislation in these 20 years of post-communism.
