Governing Law: Official public holidays in Albania are governed by the law 7651 of December 21, 1992, and the labour code of 1995 (law 7961) as amended by law 7780 of December 22, 1993. • Weekend Public Holidays: The labour code of 1995 (art. 86-2) stipulated that public holidays that fell on a Sunday were moved to the following Monday. Then, law 7780 of December 22, 1993, further stipulated that public holidays falling on a Saturday or a Sunday should be observed on the following Monday. However, the dispositions of law 7780 of December 22, 1993, were abrogated effective in 2010. • Mother Theresa Day on October 19 does not refer to either her birthday or the day of her birth, but rather to the date when Mother Teresa, whose real name was Agnesa Gonxha Boiaxhiu, was beatified by Pope John Paul II, in 2003, only six years after her death. • Albania International Codes AL and ALB (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .al (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Albania information and news: Bank of Albania (Albania central bank), UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Albania maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Albania), and Wikipedia (includes Albania commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Religion of Specific Business Contacts : Some of the business contacts that you may be trying to meet in Albania, may belong to a religious group that is not common in Albania, and therefore which is not included in the above list of public holidays or bank holidays. To be safe, you should also verify that no major religious holidays coincides with any planned business trip to Albania.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Albania that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.

Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Albania were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42°N, longitude, 39.82°E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules).
