Constitution
This fundamental normative act for the functioning of the state serves as the main guarantee for the recognition and respect of the rights of national minorities in the country. It enshrines the universally recognized principles of human rights and "pluralism, national identity and national heritage, religious coexistence, as well as the coexistence and mutual understanding between Albanians and minorities" (Article 3), considering them as the foundation of the Albanian state. It defines the fundamental human rights and freedoms as "indivisible, inalienable, and inviolable, and which lie at the core of the entire legal order" (Article 15), thus guaranteeing equality without any form of discrimination for all citizens living in the territory of the Republic of Albania—Albanians, members of national minorities, foreigners, or stateless persons—both in the enjoyment of fundamental rights and freedoms, and in the fulfillment of obligations arising from the Constitution and other laws.
The principles related to political, economic, social, and cultural rights and freedoms, as enshrined in various international acts, have become an integral part of the entire Albanian constitutional and legal framework. The Constitution of the Republic of Albania considers national minorities an inseparable part of Albanian society. It guarantees them full equality before the law in exercising their rights and freedoms and recognizes their right "to freely express, without being prohibited or compelled, their ethnic, cultural, religious, and linguistic identity," as well as the right "to preserve and develop it, to learn and be taught in their mother tongue, and to form organizations and associations for the protection of their interests and identity."
