With the approval of the Balkan section of the Comintern (Communist International III through the Balkan Communist Federation), two representatives of the Yugoslav Communist Party participated in the meeting: Miladin Popovic and Dushan Mugosha. The meeting decided on the merger of the communist groups operating in the country and the creation of the Communist Party from their union. The meeting elected a Temporary Central Committee, consisting of 7 people: Ever Hoxha, Qemal Stafa, Tuk Jakova, Ko&ccedil;i Xoxe, Ramadan &Ccedil;itaku, Kristo Themelko and Gjin Marku. It also approved the Program (Resolution) of the Albanian Communist Party for the war period and an appeal to the Albanian people. The program envisaged two main tasks: the liberation of the country and the restoration of the national independence of the homeland, as well as the establishment of a democratic order in Albania. They would be realized through the unification of all Albanians without distinction in an Anti-Fascist Front as well as through the organization of the armed uprising. After the founding meeting, the Albanian Communist Party took measures to organize the National Liberation Front and the armed uprising. In December 1941, guerrilla units were established and in the spring of 1942, partisan detachments were formed which would form the basis of the formation of the regular National Liberation Army. <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">(In the photo: The house where the Albanian Communist Party was founded.)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><strong><span lang=\"SQ\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: SQ;\">Text:<\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"SQ\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: SQ;\"> <em>The history of the Albanian people &#8211; Vol. IV <\/em>, Academy of Sciences of Albania, &#8220;Toena&#8221;, Tirana, 2009, page 49-50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><strong><span lang=\"SQ\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: SQ;\">Photo: <\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"SQ\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: SQ;\">&copy; Central State Archives<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span lang=\"SQ\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: SQ;\">Graphic processing: <\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"SQ\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: SQ;\">AHCF<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Albanian Communist Party was founded, with representatives from the three main communist groups: the communist group of Kor\u00e7\u00eb, the communist group of Shkod\u00ebr, and the communist youth group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2026,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ngjarje"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7309"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10375,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7309\/revisions\/10375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
